The Raw Deal/Wisdom Circle Simulcast (10 March 2021) with Mr Rho Jim Fetzer 5083 subscribers
Giuseppe Vafanculo and David Scorpio joined me today for a joint conversation with Mr Rho, where we were joined by Chris Weinert. Extensive discussion of the fake CV pandemic and the hazards posed by masks as well as the current state of politics in America, including the trial of the officer alleged to have killed George Floyd, where the evidence suggests it was a staged event involving the use of an African American windpipe training torso.

I explained a bit of my concerns to people down your way but either the talk shows are never aired or I am now banished from their talkshow forums.

Before KOZINSKI, BERZON and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.
KOZINSKI, Circuit Judge.
We consider a claim of qualified immunity for the use of force during an ordinary traffic stop.
Facts
Ralph Kermit Winterrowd 2d wasn't weaving across the road when the Alaska State Troopers pulled him over. He wasn't speeding. He didn't even coast through a stop sign. He was pulled over because the troopers suspected his plates were invalid.
As is typical in such circumstances, the troopers who pulled him over—Brad L. Nelson, John R. Cyr, Jorge A. Santiago, and Robert M. Baty—asked Winterrowd to produce his driver's license and registration. Winterrowd was unable to produce valid registration.1 The troopers then ordered him out of his vehicle. Because they intended to speak with him inside a patrol car, they attempted to perform a routine pat-down for officer safety.
As Winterrowd faced the police car, Nelson ordered him to put his hands behind his back.2 Nelson saw no signs of a weapon, and Winterrowd offered no physical threat to the officers. Instead, Winterrowd explained that he could not put his hands behind his back because he had a [480 F.3d 1183] 1183 shoulder injury. According to Winterrowd, the officers responded by forcing him onto the hood of the car. Nelson then grabbed Winterrowd's right arm and forced it up. When Winterrowd screamed in pain, the trooper applied greater pressure, pumping his arm up and down. After several seconds of this treatment, Nelson released Winterrowd, who fell to the ground.3
Winterrowd brought this action in federal court. The district court dismissed most of his claims on summary judgment, but found disputed material facts supporting his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim that the troopers used excessive force during the pat-down.4 The district judge concluded that defendants weren't entitled to qualified immunity on summary judgment. The troopers now bring this interlocutory appeal.5
Analysis
A patrol officer may conduct scores of traffic stops every month, and perform [480 F.3d 1184] 1184 numerous pat-downs. During the course of this work, the officer will inevitably meet individuals who cannot immediately comply with his instructions. People are slow or hard of hearing. They suffer from bad backs, joint problems or tendonitis.
Naturally, a police officer need not endanger himself by unduly crediting a suspect's mere claim of injury. We recognize that some suspects may feign injury in an attempt to hide weapons. But a statement that a suspect is physically unable to comply with a request does not, by itself, justify the use of force. Instead, the police may use force only when the intrusion on the individual's liberty is outweighed by the governmental interests at stake. See Blanford v. Sacramento County, 406 F.3d 1110, 1115 (9th Cir. 2005). We must thus determine whether the officers here could reasonably have concluded that the use of force was justified.
Accepting Winterrowd's version of the facts, the troopers could not have so concluded on the basis of the immediate offense. Winterrowd wasn't even suspected of driving dangerously. Instead, the officers believed his license plates were invalid. No reasonable officer could conclude that an individual suspected of a license plate violation posed a threat that would justify slamming him against the hood of a car.
Nor could the troopers have so concluded on the basis of any other fact presented here. Winterrowd didn't take a swing at the officers, nor did the officers detect suspicious bulges or metallic glints on his person. According to Winterrowd, he didn't resist the officers, nor did he flee.
The officers point to only three contemporaneous observations that they believe justified their use of force. First, the officers argue that, because they removed twenty to twenty-five pens and pencils from Winterrowd's person, they could reasonably have concluded that he posed an immediate threat. But pens and pencils have legitimate, non-violent uses; many motorists carry them. The fact that ordinary objects in the possession of a suspect could be used as weapons cannot, standing alone, justify the use of force. There would have to be some indication that the individual in question intended to use these utensils to threaten or harm the officers. Any other rule would authorize the police to use force against virtually all motorists simply because they carry writing utensils, keys or other ordinary objects that could potentially be used as weapons.
Defendants do not claim that Winterrowd reached for a pen or pencil, or that he gave any other indication that he planned to wield those items belligerently. The fact that Winterrowd had more than the usual number of such utensils is of no consequence. Having a large number of pencils may suggest some personal eccentricity, but it does not make it more likely that one of those utensils will be used as a weapon or otherwise enhance the risk to the officers. At most, it might suggest that the officers could reasonably exercise greater caution during the encounter. [480 F.3d 1185] 1185
Second, the troopers imply that their use of force was justified because Winterrowd carried a firearm in his car.6 But they were unaware of this fact when they forced him onto the hood of their car. In any event, Winterrowd was well away from his vehicle, and unable to access the weapon at the time.
Third, the officers point to Winterrowd's belligerent attitude and his belief that he was not required to register his vehicle. But on summary judgment we must accept Winterrowd's claim that he was neither threatening nor physically abusive. Winterrowd believed he was not required to register his vehicle with the State of Alaska. Such a belief—a mistake of law—is no different from that of a motorist who failed to see a stop sign, or who didn't realize the speed limit had dropped to 45 miles per hour. Even if Winterrowd was adamant that registration was not required, that attitude would not justify the deliberate infliction of pain. Winterrowd's objections were entirely verbal. At worst, the officers could conclude that he scoffed at state bureaucracy. Such an attitude poses no physical danger and thus cannot justify the force allegedly used here.
The troopers also claim that they feared for their safety based on prior experiences with Winterrowd. The officers point to no facts that would have justified such a fear, voicing only vague suspicions: "I was aware that Mr. Winterrowd presented officer safety issues, including the exhibition of a hostile attitude toward Law Enforcement officers."
Such generalized concerns, standing alone, cannot justify the use of force. See Deorle v. Rutherford, 272 F.3d 1272, 1281 (9th Cir. 2001) (" [A] simple statement by an officer that he fears for his safety or the safety of others is not enough; there must be objective factors to justify such a concern."). The officers do not cite a single instance where Winterrowd was physically abusive when stopped by the police. At least one of the officers had, in fact, dealt with Winterrowd in the past, see n. 4, supra, yet he presented no declaration that Winterrowd had been physically abusive during the prior encounters. At most, Winterrowd was shown to be verbally abusive; after being forced onto the hood of the car, he called the officers "jackbooted thugs,""armed mercenaries" and " [c]owards." Assuming that Winterrowd had used such epithets in the past, they would not justify the use of force. No officer likes being called a coward, but Winterrowd is well within his rights in making such statements. " [W]hile police, no less than anyone else, may resent having obscene words and gestures directed at them, they may not exercise the awesome power at their disposal to punish individuals for conduct that is not merely lawful, but protected by the First Amendment." Duran v. City of Douglas, 904 F.2d 1372, 1378 (9th Cir. 1990).7
None of the violations that gave rise to Winterrowd's prior encounters with the police suggest a reasonable fear that he could be dangerous. He had been cited [480 F.3d 1186] 1186 multiple times for having expired vehicle registrations, for failing to carry his driver's license, for failing to display plates and for failing to insure his vehicle. Such passive offenses cannot give rise to a reasonable inference that the suspect is dangerous, no matter how many of them he may have committed.
The officers no doubt had an interest in confirming that Winterrowd was unarmed, but they had no justification for doing so in a physically abusive manner, as Winterrowd alleges. There were many ways the troopers could have checked for weapons short of pushing Winterrowd onto the hood of the police vehicle and yanking the arm he claimed was injured. Even if the officers doubted Winterrowd's claim that he had a shoulder injury, they were not entitled to use force to gain his compliance. When no immediate threat is posed and the police can use other means of patting down a suspect, they may not insist on doing so in a manner that will cause the suspect pain. We do not require officers to risk their own safety by crediting a suspect's claim that he is injured; we hold only that a verbal refusal to comply on grounds of physical impossibility does not justify the kind of manhandling that Winterrowd claims the officers inflicted on him.
We now turn to whether a reasonable officer would have known that the use of force here was excessive. See Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194, 202, 121 S. Ct. 2151, 150 L. Ed. 2d 272 (2001). Officers are entitled to qualified immunity unless they have been given fair notice that their conduct was unreasonable "in light of the specific context of the case." Brosseau v. Haugen, 543 U.S. 194, 198, 125 S. Ct. 596, 160 L. Ed. 2d 583 (2004) (per curiam) (quoting Saucier, 533 U.S. at 201, 121 S. Ct. 2151). In Meredith v. Erath, 342 F.3d 1057 (9th Cir. 2003), we found the suspect "did not pose a safety risk and made no attempt to leave." Id. at 1061. Likewise, the crimes being investigated were "nonviolent offenses." She may have "loudly asked . . . to see a search warrant" and "passively resisted" handcuffing, but did not use physical force. We found it clearly established that "grab [bing] [her] by the arms, throw [ing] her to the ground, and twist [ing] her arms while handcuffing her" was unreasonable. Id. Because we held in Meredith that the law on this point was clearly established as of July 10, 1998, it was also clearly established for the later incident here. No reasonable officer would believe he could constitutionally force a harmless motorist against the hood of a car and cause him unnecessary pain. See id. That the suspect claims he is unable to comply with instructions to put his arm behind his back provides no further justification. No reasonable officer could have thought otherwise.
* * *
An officer may not use force solely because a suspect tells him he is incapable of complying with a request during the course of an ordinary pat-down. The officers here admit that they could have patted Winterrowd down without forcing his arm behind his back. They have shown no justification for pushing him onto the hood of the police car and yanking his arm. While the officers tell a different story, we must accept Winterrowd's version of the event. Because the facts, if resolved in Winterrowd's favor, would show the officers violated his clearly established constitutional rights, the district court did not err in denying the motion for summary judgment on grounds of qualified immunity.
AFFIRMED.
1
From what we can tell from the record, Winterrowd takes the curious (and legally unjustified) position that the State of Alaska lacks the authority to require him to register his vehicle
2
Nelson admits that he could have administered the pat-down in a way that did not require Winterrowd to put his hands behind his back. A pat-down can be conducted in a number of ways. The individual could hold his arms over his head, out to the sides or he could lean forward onto the police car
3
Because this case arises on the troopers' motion for summary judgment on a qualified immunity claim, we present the facts in the light most favorable to Winterrowd See Adams v. Speers, 473 F.3d 989, 990-91 (9th Cir. 2007). The officers claim Winterrowd turned towards Nelson during the pat-down, but Winterrowd claims he made no aggressive moves, and that if he turned, it was an involuntary response to Nelson's forcing his arm behind his back. A jury will have to resolve the conflicting versions as to what transpired after the stop.
Defendants also claim Winterrowd presented no evidence, instead making only general assertions in legal memoranda. See British Airways Bd. v. Boeing Co., 585 F.2d 946, 952 (9th Cir. 1978). But Winterrowd—who represents himself—appended affidavits to briefs he submitted to the district court after his amended complaint. Those affidavits stated, "I . . . do swear (or affirm) that the foregoing facts in this document . . . are true and correct under the penalties of [sic] perjury." While this procedure is somewhat unorthodox, it substantially complies with Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e), because it exposes Winterrowd to prosecution for perjury for any deliberately false factual statements in his briefs. While we might not countenance such a shortcut where a party is represented by counsel, we give pro se litigants greater latitude as to the format of their presentation. Michenfelder v. Sumner, 860 F.2d 328, 338 (9th Cir. 1988).
4
We have held that officers are justified in patting down an individual when they plan to have him sit in a patrol car See United States v. Thompson, 597 F.2d 187, 190 (9th Cir. 1979). The circumstances in Thompson, however, differ from those here. In Thompson, "a standard police identification process" took place while the suspect was in the patrol vehicle. Id. Sitting in close proximity with a suspect presents officer safety concerns. And, as Thompson suggests, those concerns are heightened when an individual refuses to present identification. After all, the suspect could be concealing his identity for nefarious purposes.
Unlike the situation in Thompson, the officers here were not dealing with an unknown individual. See p. ____ infra. Instead, at least one of those officers, Cyr, indicated that he was familiar with Winterrowd when they pulled him over; there is no evidence that Winterrowd failed to produce his driver's license. Whether the pat-down in this case was legal under Thompson is thus an open question. Because the legality of the patdown is not at issue on this appeal, we assume—without deciding—that the pat-down was lawful.
5
Winterrowd cross-appeals from the district court's grant of summary judgment to defendants on his other claims. We have jurisdiction to hear the government's appeal of his denial of qualified immunity because such denial is an appealable final decision Wong v. United States, 373 F.3d 952, 960 (9th Cir. 2004). We may exercise jurisdiction over Winterrowd's other claims only if "the ruling is `inextricably intertwined' with a claim properly before us on interlocutory appeal." Id. (quoting Cunningham v. Gates, 229 F.3d 1271, 1284-85 (9th Cir. 2000)).
Winterrowd's other claims against the defendants—that they unconstitutionally seized his property, failed to comply with various federal and state regulations and issued citations that were incompatible with federal law—and his claim that his constitutional rights were violated during the course of the district court proceedings, are all unrelated to the question of whether the troopers used excessive force against him. We need not decide the merits of those claims in order to dispose of the qualified immunity claim, and we therefore lack jurisdiction to decide those issues in this appeal. Id.
Winterrowd also raises new claims and provides new evidence on appeal. We grant the defendants' motion to strike, to the extent that the material presented was not before the district court.
6
Nothing in the record suggests that Winterrowd's possession of the gun was illegal
7
Indeed, this fact may cut the other way. Having recognized Winterrowd, the officers may have remembered that he didn't pay them the deference they believed was their due. Their behavior, then, may have been a response to his exercise of First Amendment rights, rather than to the present situation. While we must consider the facts here "without regard to the arresting officer's subjective motivation for using force,"Tatum v. City & County of S.F., 441 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir. 2006), the officers' underlying motivations could cast doubt on their version of the incident. This is a matter to be sorted out by the trier of fact.
On February 24, 2006, Ralph Kermit Winterrowd 2nd, who describes himself as "a free white citizen, American citizen, citizen of the United States of America, and Natural Born Native of the foreign state of Kansas domiciled in the territorial boundaries of Alaska," representing himself, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus alleging that he is being unlawfully and illegally restrained of his liberty by the State of Alaska, after being found guilty of driving without a valid state driver's license. Mr. Winterrowd's petition, however, is premature. He has not exhausted his state court remedies. Until he does so, this Court will not hear his case.

See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1)(A); see also O'Sullivan v. Boerckel, 526 U.S. 838, 844 (1999); Peterson v. Lampert, 319 F.3d 1153, 1155-56 (9th Cir. 2003) ("A federal court may not grant habeas relief to a state prisoner unless he has properly exhausted his remedies in state court. . . . A petitioner must exhaust his state remedies by reaching the point where he has no state remedies available to him at the time he files his federal habeas petition."); McNeely v. Blanas, 336 F.3d 822, 825-26 (9th Cir. 2003) ("After the initial [§ 2241] petition was dismissed without prejudice due to the presence of unexhausted claims, Petitioner filed an amended petition, excluding the unexhausted claims, on September 25, 2000. In his answer, Respondent agreed that Petitioner has exhausted his remedies on the issues raised in the amended petition."); Reutter v. Crandel, 109 F.3d 575, 577 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 118 S. Ct. 142 (1997) ("Only if the state courts have had the first opportunity to hear the claim sought to be vindicated in a federal habeas proceeding does it make sense to speak of the exhaustion of state remedies") (quoting Picard v. Connor, 404 U.S. 270 (1971)); Zichko v. Idaho. 247 F.3d 1015, 1022 (9th Cir. 2001) ("A habeas petitioner must present his claims to the state's highest court in order to satisfy the exhaustion requirement of 28 U.S.C. §§ 2254(b)(1) and (c)").
For the record Dr Carley you were the only talkshow host to deal with me openly and honestly for that I truly thank you. Good luck with your concerns.
At least this Yankee bastard finally got honest in his comtempt towards mean old me.
Thats the way I like straight up.

Canada Revenue Agency accused of blaming victims as 'gross negligence' cases drag on
B.C. retiree who won appeal of $139K penalty claimed she didn't know what was filed on her behalf
Jason Proctor· CBC News· Posted: Mar 11, 2021 5:45 PM PT
The Canada Revenue Agency has penalized dozens of former clients of B.C.-based DeMara Consulting for gross negligence after the company tried to bilk the tax agency out of millions of dollars. Lawyers claim the penalties are heavy handed. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)
Dozens of clients of a disgraced B.C. tax consultant who tried to bilk the Canada Revenue Agency out of millions of dollars are facing the possibility of financial ruin after being penalized for "gross negligence."
In a case lawyers say represents the danger of a too-broad approach to punishing tax evasion, a judge last month sided with a 77-year-old retired Abbotsford pastor named Margo Dianne Bowker who appealed a $139,000 penalty after claiming she had no idea what documents the firm she hired to prepare her taxes was submitting on her behalf.
But dozens of related cases representing millions of dollars in penalties have yet to make it through the Tax Court of Canada — illustrating the arduous process clients of DeMara Consulting have endured since fraud charges were filed against the two principals of the company in 2013.
In the time it took Bowker to win her case, the person prosecutors described as DeMara's "mastermind"— Donna Marie Stancer — served the 33-month jail sentence she received for tax fraud in 2016.
Meanwhile the Vernon, B.C., woman's former customers are still living with the fallout from her scheme, says a lawyer.
"The CRA is very much blaming the victim," said Jeff Pniowsky, a Winnipeg lawyer whose firm, Thompson Dorfman Sweatman, represents 65 former DeMara clients spread mostly across Western Canada.
"We have instances where there's been bankruptcy [and] severe psychological distress. We have clients ... at their wit's end, because this is a huge hammer. These are not ultra-wealthy people. These are average, middle-class people who are facing life-destroying penalties."
'That is wrong, and it must stop'
At the heart of the issue is gross negligence, which has been described in past court decisions as more than just failing to take care but "tantamount to intentional acting or an indifference as to whether the law is complied with or not."
Canada's Income Tax Act gives CRA the ability to levy penalties against Canadians who make false statements and omissions on their tax returns, either knowingly or under circumstances which amount to gross negligence.
Toronto tax lawyer Duane Milot says the gross negligence penalties applied by the CRA are onerous. (CBC)
The law sets the penalty at whichever is greater: $100 or half of the under-reported tax or over-reported credits.
Toronto-based lawyer Duane Milot won a gross-negligence case last summer for a Nanaimo, B.C., man who — with his wife — was handed penalties totalling $220,000 after filing taxes through DeMara. The CRA is appealing.
Milot says the tax agency should punish Canadians who abuse the system, but there should be room for discretion. He calls the law "arcane" when it comes to penalties.
"These penalties are extremely onerous and penal," he said. "They're supposed to be applied in rare cases and only when someone intentionally or knowingly makes a false statement. But instead, the CRA often applies these penalties automatically.
"Where a number of Canadians have been deceived by fraudsters, the CRA applies them to every single participant. That is wrong, and it must stop."
'Shooting fish in a barrel'
According to court records, Stancer and her co-accused, Deanna Lynn LaValley, prepared tax records for 224 clients using a technique known as "the remedy."
The scheme involved obtaining a business number for people regardless of whether they actually had a business.

DeMara staff would then add up all of a client's personal expenses and debts, including credit card bills, mortgage payments, grocery, household, repair and insurance bills and — essentially — claim them as expenses and capital losses for the non-existent business.
The CRA claimed Stancer and LaValley submitted more than $192 million in fake expenses on behalf of their clients in a bid to obtain nearly $10 million in refunds. News reports of Stancer's sentencing said only about $53,000 was paid out.
"In other words, the CRA was well aware of what was going on," Pniowsky said. "They caught it, they put a stop to it, but they went ahead and applied penalties anyway. I call it shooting fish in a barrel."
'A fairly high trust factor'
Bowker's husband used to file his wife's tax returns but went with DeMara Consulting on the advice of a friend in 2011.
Bowker testified that the couple "would have run the other way" if they thought the firm were so-called de-taxers who "want to avoid paying taxes."
Instead, they drove to Vernon to check out DeMara's offices, where Bowker said they saw "a little bit of a welcome area, reception area, and a few — a number of people sitting at desks."
The CRA has the ability to penalize people who file false tax returns either knowingly or through gross negligence. The penalties amount to whichever is greater: $100 or half of the under-reported tax or over-reported credits. (CBC)
In 2012, DeMara filed tax returns for Bowker that included $666,447 in business losses. Bowker claimed she never saw what was in the return because her husband handled all the correspondence with the tax consultant.
The Crown claimed Bowker ignored "red flags" that should have tipped her to the fact something fishy was going on, such as the magnitude of the refund she was seeking and the fact that she was asked to apply for a business number.
But Bowker said she trusted her husband. She also claimed DeMara never promised her husband he'd get a refund for her.
Tax Court Justice Sylvain Ouimet found that the "flashing red lights" described by the CRA weren't enough to conclude Bowker was wilfully blind.
"Mrs. Bowker testified that Mr. Bowker and herself have a fairly high trust factor in their relationships with people," Ouimet wrote.
Overwhelmed by 'legal jargon and stuff'
Pniowsky says his firm has chosen three clients as lead cases to argue, in part, that DeMara had all the hallmarks of a legitimate accounting company, which made customers such as the Bowkers less likely to question whether they were breaking the law.
His clients — a pilot, a nurse and a psychiatrist — have credentials that the people they serve, travellers and patients, trust implicitly, Pniowsky argues, and the same holds for a firm such as DeMara, which had the "trappings of officialdom."
The CRA would not comment on the specifics of the cases in Tax Court. Only a handful of appeals appear to have made their way through the system to date. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)
"In order for society to function, there has to be an element of trust," he said. "Those people who lie about who they are, that's who we nail, that's who we prosecute ... That's how the system should work.
"With respect to penalties, it's all out of whack. The CRA doesn't seem to follow a general line of reasoning and apportion blame where it ought to be apportioned, and they're effectively going after the victims as well."
A similar argument failed to convince another judge in 2019 that gross negligence penalties shouldn't be applied to an underground miner who claimed he "thought DeMara was a legitimate tax preparer that would comply with the law."
Erik Saunders represented himself when he went before the Tax Court. He said he didn't sign or review his 2011 tax return before it was filed by DeMara and he didn't know the company was claiming significant business and capital losses.
"His education consists of Grade 9 English, Grade 9 math and science and Grade 10 social studies," the judgment in that case reads. "He is overwhelmed by 'legal jargon and stuff.'"
But the CRA wrote Saunders to notify him of the large business losses he was claiming, and the judge said he was aware that a reasonable person should review their tax returns.
"However, he chose not to review the income tax returns prepared by DeMara," the judge wrote, "This is particularly troublesome since he testified that he knew very little about the principals behind DeMara and, in particular, did not know if they were accountants."
CRA not commenting on ongoing cases
The Canada Revenue Agency wouldn't comment on any of the ongoing cases.
In a statement, the agency referred the CBC to a webpage that warns Canadians to "beware of tax schemes that promise to reduce your taxes."
"Sound too good to be true?" the website asks. "It probably is."

Stancer was sentenced in January 2016 to two years and nine months in jail but was approved for day and full parole seven months later.
A copy of her parole documents obtained by CBC cites letters from victims who claimed they suffered emotional and financial distress at her hands.
"You have victims that face investigation, tax court and heavy penalties for agreeing to the advice and counsel that you gave them. Many have lost their homes and their savings," the parole board wrote.
"They say they are being treated as criminals by the government."
Stancer was assessed as a low risk to re-offend but denied knowing the remedy was illegal.
"In listening to you today, the board finds it extremely hard to understand how an intelligent woman can believe that a plan designed to reduce an individual's taxable income to zero could possibly be a legitimate accounting practice," the parole board decision says.
The board said she continued to minimize her crimes.
"You told the board that you consider yourself a victim," the decision reads. "However, the board finds that you were in a position of trust with the real victims, your clientele, and you abused that trust.
According to court documents, the CRA also slapped Stancer with gross negligence penalties.
'Deep regret and apology'
Thirteen former clients also sued Stancer, LaValley and DeMara in B.C. Supreme Court, saying they were penalized by the CRA as a result of their tax returns and seeking a declaration that they were misled.
In a response filed in 2016, Stancer denied saying she had "'inside knowledge' of tax reduction strategies normally only available to the wealthiest of Canadians."
Stancer claimed to have lived with "grief and anguish" and expressed "deep regret and apology" for any part she had in hurting them.
"For the last year, I was with the DeMara Consulting Society, I was a volunteer with no pay," Stancer wrote.
"CRA placed over half a million dollars in gross negligent penalties for filing the same way as the plaintiffs. I took no profits from DeMara Consulting Inc or DeMara Consulting Society. I filed for bankruptcy in early 2015."
Stancer's response is the last entry on the court file.
In 2019, she was granted an absolute discharge from bankruptcy effective May 2025, after agreeing to pay $12,000 to her creditors.

Milot Law 181 University Avenue Suite 2200 Toronto, Ontario M5H 3M7
As the principal lawyer for Taxation Lawyers, James provides for its tax dispute resolution services as well as dealing with tax assistance. James began his career in tax law at law school where he received the award for top mark in taxation law in his second year, and shared the top mark in taxation law in his third year. Subsequently, James received a prestigious clerkship with the Tax Court of Canada, where he completed his articles. During his time with the Tax Court, he prepared bench memoranda and legal opinions to assist the Justices of the Court in their role of deciding tax appeals. Following his clerkship, James was hired by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to work in their Canadian Corporate Tax department. During his time at PwC, James was responsible for providing legal opinions and tax planning assistance to a range of clients. In August 1999, James left PwC to pursue his Masters of Tax (MTax) from the University of Waterloo. While enrolled in the MTax program, James commenced a co-op position with KPMG in its Insurance Tax department. He was later hired full-time to work in KPMG’s Financial Institutions Tax department. During his time with KPMG, James Rhodes was responsible for providing legal opinions, ensuring the tax compliance of clients, and coordinating the T1 tax return preparation of individual clients. In February of 2001, James left KPMG to work for the Federal Department of Justice in their Tax Law Section. At Justice, James was responsible for the execution of informal and general tax appeals before the Tax Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal. James was also responsible for providing legal opinions to appeals and audit officers of the Canada Revenue Agency. During his time with Justice, James Rhodes was awarded the Group Merit award in 2003 for outstanding achievement, as well as receiving the award for outstanding personal performance. In his four-year span at the Department of Justice, James litigated over one hundred appeals before the Tax Court. As well, he was co-counsel on several major cases to both the Tax Court and the Federal Court of Appeal. It is estimated James has conducted over 100 trials before the Tax Court. After having worked for the Department of Justice for several years, James came to realize that the great majority of taxpayers weren’t receiving adequate tax dispute resolution services. Numerous times on appeals, James would often find that documents and information have been provided by the taxpayer and/or their accounting professionals that just added to the information used against them by the CRA. James then left the Department of Justice to open his own firm, Rhodes Tax Law Office. After having worked for several years on his own, he was approached by Miller Thomson LLP to head up their tax dispute resolution in southwestern Ontario. After having worked with Miller Thomson LLP (which is still firmly respects and admires) he decided he could better serve the Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph communities by working as an independent tax firm. As an independent tax firm, the practice would be restricted only to resolving tax issues. Law firms could safely refer their clients to Taxation Lawyers without fear that they would lose their clients.

Hate is a very strong term. I am not sure how one person can hate another. With that said, I watched this Liz person live. She is either a follower of Qanon or something. The nonsense she was screaming was absolutely crazy. Putting that aside, anyone who thinks is normal to stand outside someone’s private residence and scream and shout needs to read the law about disturbing the piece. That is exactly what she was doing.

One arrested in protest outside Premier Higgs's house
Published an hour ago…
Marlo Glass | Telegraph-Journal
SAINT JOHN • One person was arrested at a demonstration outside of Premier Blaine Higgs's house in Quispamsis on Saturday afternoon.
The Kennebecasis Regional Police Force confirmed they were on the scene enforcing the mandatory order of the Emergency Measures Act. Zone 2, which includes the greater Saint John area, moved into phase red of the province's pandemic recovery plan on Jan. 20. Sgt. Kim Bennett confirmed one arrest was made.
"There have been demonstrations for the past few Saturdays, and the police have been on the scene as well," said Bennett.
Liz Kramer of Rothesay, who streamed a video of the demonstration on her Facebook page, told the Telegraph-Journal she was arrested for disturbing the peace, as well as ticketed for violating the Emergency Measures Act for not wearing a mask.
Craig McDougall, the officer in charge of the police response to the gathering, was not available for comment at the time of publication.
Kramer ran in the 2020 provincial election as an independent candidate for the Rothesay riding.
The Telegraph-Journal asked the premier's oce for comment on Saturday but did not receive a response by publication time.
Kramer returned to the premier's house on Sunday to "let everyone know she wasn't afraid," she said. She received another ticket for not wearing a mask in her car with another person.
She says she is "protesting the non-justification of a continued state of emergency," and that she "isn't an anti-masker, just a freedom-lover."
On Saturday, she was issued an additional ticket for protesting outside the premier's house the week prior.
Kramer said she intends to fight the tickets in court on March 18
and her latest post easily proves that there are more "human beings" like us and less sheople like you with each passing day N'esy Pas?

Out of the Gate I should ask where was the media and WHY the very corrupt RCMP did not remain true to their promise to the local politicians and arrest anyone else in Moncton today???
Could it be that Canadians have had enough of this malicious lock down nonsense and are hitting the streets in tidal waves all over the country just before questionable budgets are tabled and confidence votes begin?
Methinks the Crown Attorneys in New Brunswick must now that Liz Kramer ran against their current boss Teddy Baby Flemming in the last election now even though Higgy had her arrested before all the people in Moncton were yet CBC won't talk about it but an Irving newsrag certainly did CORRECT???
COVID-19 One arrested in protest outside Premier Higgs's house Published an hour ago Marlo Glass | Telegraph-Journal A protest in Quispamsis on Saturday generated a police response, including one arrest. Photo: Brunswick News SAINT JOHN • One person was arrested at a demonstration outside of Premier Blaine Higgs's house in Quispamsis on Saturday afternoon.
The Kennebecasis Regional Police Force confirmed they were on the scene enforcing the mandatory order of the Emergency Measures Act. Zone 2, which includes the greater Saint John area, moved into phase red of the province's pandemic recovery plan on Jan. 20. Sgt. Kim Bennett confirmed one arrest was made.
"There have been demonstrations for the past few Saturdays, and the police have been on the scene as well," said Bennett.
Liz Kramer of Rothesay, who streamed a video of the demonstration on her Facebook page, told the Telegraph-Journal she was arrested for disturbing the peace, as well as ticketed for violating the Emergency Measures Act for not wearing a mask.
Craig McDougall, the officer in charge of the police response to the gathering, was not available for comment at the time of publication.
Kramer ran in the 2020 provincial election as an independent candidate for the Rothesay riding.
The Telegraph-Journal asked the premier's oce for comment on Saturday but did not receive a response by publication time.
Kramer returned to the premier's house on Sunday to "let everyone know she wasn't afraid," she said. She received another ticket for not wearing a mask in her car with another person.
She says she is "protesting the non-justification of a continued state of emergency," and that she "isn't an anti-masker, just a freedom-lover."
On Saturday, she was issued an additional ticket for protesting outside the premier's house the week prior.
Kramer said she intends to fight the tickets in court on March 18.
President Daviau asks political leaders in New Brunswick where they stand
PIPSC President, Debi Daviau has reached out to all political leaders in New Brunswick to clarify their positions on issues that matter most to our members.
Several hundred PIPSC members live and work in New Brunswick. Our membership in the province includes Crown Prosecutors, Crown Counsel, Legal Aid Services employees, agrologists and agronomists, engineers, architects and land surveyors, as well as veterinarians and veterinary pathologists.
All who have continued to provide critical services to the people of New Brunswick during the COVID 19 crises. And many who have been on the front lines of the provincial and federal response to the pandemic.
President Daviau has asked each party to clarify what their position is on the following issues:
(1) If elected, what will your party do to ensure an effective, well-funded provincial public service continues to be in place in the years ahead?
(2) If elected, in light of ongoing health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, what will your party do to ensure the safety of our members returning to their regular work locations? And will your party support appropriate work-life balance accommodations for our members and their families given the continued uncertainty regarding what will constitute the “new normal” in the future?
(3) If elected, will your party ensure that our members receive fair compensation that is competitive with those of their counterparts across Canada? As you may know, public service professionals in New Brunswick are currently among the lowest paid in the country.
(4) With the move from a defined benefit pension plan to a shared risk pension plan, our members are now left with a retirement plan that delivers less and costs more. If elected, what will your party do to address this shortfall?
We are a non-partisan union and ready to collaborate with the next New Brunswick government to ensure that New Brunswickers continue to receive the excellent public services that they expect and depend on.
Protesters who allegedly violated N.B. COVID rules hire Ontario lawyer
Judge rejects request to bar media from publishing name of one of five facing charges

Two people arrested and charged following a protest outside Moncton city hall in January have hired an Ontario lawyer who unsuccessfully requested a publication ban to restrict reporting the name of one of those facing charges. (Radio-Canada )
A provincial court judge on Wednesday denied a request to prohibit media from reporting the name of one of five people charged with violating New Brunswick's COVID-19 rules at a protest in Moncton.
The request was made by Ontario lawyer Joshua Halpern, who is representing Bathurst residents Nicholas DeAngelis, 34, and 31-year-old Britney Green.
DeAngelis and Green were arrested and charged following the Jan. 24 protest outside Moncton city hall. Both were scheduled to appear in Moncton provincial court Wednesday to enter pleas on the charges they face.
Neither were present, but were represented by Halpern, who appeared by phone.
"I'd like to request a publication ban on this file," Halpern told Provincial Judge Brigitte Volpé after she read the charges against DeAngelis.
Publication bans are standard for the names of victims of sexual crimes and for those under 18 facing charges, but the names of adults charged are public record because of the open court principle.
Prosecutor opposed request
"I understand there's been a lot of media attention around this and he feels he's being harassed by the media," Halpern said.
The defence lawyer sought the ban based on a section of the criminal code that allows barring names of witnesses and victims of crime at the request of a Crown prosecutor.
Crown prosecutor Maurice Blanchard opposed the request, saying he didn't believe such a ban would be allowed.
"Unless I'm mistaken, your client is the accused, not a victim here," the judge said.
"Not a victim, but he is a witness as well as being an accused," Halpern said.
"The section under which you're [requesting the ban], in my opinion, doesn't permit me to do that," Volpé said, adding Halpern could file an application seeking such a ban and a hearing would need to be held to consider the request.

DeAngelis faces criminal charges of causing a disturbance at a Superstore in Moncton by screaming, mischief by interfering with the use of property, and resisting two police officers on Dec. 31, 2020.
DeAngelis is alleged to have violated the province's Emergency Measures Act on Dec. 31 by not wearing a mask, not wearing a mask in Shediac on Jan. 22 and Jan. 24 by taking part in a gathering of more than five people while not physically distanced and not wearing a mask.
It's also alleged she violated the Emergency Measures Act on Dec. 31 by not wearing a mask and Jan. 24 by taking part in a gathering of more than five people while not physically distanced and not wearing a mask.
Halpern requested an adjournment so he can get disclosure of the Crown's evidence. He's scheduled to appear in court by phone on April 21.
Jonathan Rossiter, 29, of Nackawic, Dawn Teakles, 49, of Moncton, and David Robert West, 54, of Riverview were also charged following the protest outside city hall.
Teakles returns to court March 22, while West is scheduled to appear April 6.
An arrest warrant was issued for Rossiter after he missed a court appearance in February.
Moncton protester against COVID rules found fit after psychiatric evaluation
David West of Riverview arrested during Jan. 24 protest outside Moncton city hall

A Riverview man arrested during a protest against COVID-19 restrictions in Moncton last month was found fit to stand trial following a 30-day psychiatric evaluation.
David Robert West, 54, will be released from custody and is next scheduled to appear in court April 6.
West was among five people arrested and held in custody following the Jan. 24 protest outside Moncton city hall, but was the only one still in custody.
He appeared in Moncton provincial court Thursday afternoon by video from the Southeast Regional Correctional Centre in Shediac.
Defence lawyer Guillaume LeBlanc told provincial court Judge Paul Duffie that he had yet to receive disclosure of the Crown's evidence.
West indicated during an appearance Jan. 28 that he was "just not all there in the head right now." A judge had ordered the psychiatric evaluation at the Restigouche Hospital Centre in Campbellton at LeBlanc's request.
West faces several criminal charges, including allegations he resisted a police officer on Oct. 8, 2020, assaulted a peace officer on the same date, caused a disturbance at a grocery store in Moncton on Dec. 31, 2020 and violated the province's Emergency Measures Act at a Shediac grocery store on Jan. 22 this year, according to a list of charges read in court Thursday.
Jonathan Rossiter, 29, of Nackawic, Dawn Teakles, 49, of Moncton, Nicholas Deangelis, 34, of Bathurst, and Britney Green, 31, of Bathurst were the others arrested and charged following the Jan. 24 protest.
Green and Deangelis are scheduled to return to court March 10. Teakles returns to court March 22. An arrest warrant was issued after Rossiter missed his Tuesday court appearance.
Warrant issued after anti-mask protester skips Moncton court appearance

A judge issued an arrest warrant Monday after a person arrested and charged following an anti-mask protest in Moncton missed his court appearance.
Jonathan Rossiter, 29, of Nackawic faces criminal charges of assaulting, resisting and obstructing police officers on Jan. 24 in Moncton. He also faces a charge of violating the province's Emergency Measures Act by taking part in a gathering of more than five people outside, while people were not more than two metres apart and wearing masks.
He was one of six arrested Jan. 24 at the protest outside Moncton city hall. He was released from custody the following day and ordered to appear in court again on Monday to enter a plea on the charges.
He was not present in Moncton provincial court, and no lawyer was there to represent him, so Judge Luc Labonté issued an arrest warrant.
Dawn Teakles, 49, of Moncton, was also arrested at the protests and also faces similar criminal charges and an alleged violation of the Emergency Measures Act.
Teakles was present in court and was wearing a mask, but did not enter a plea.
Teakles told the judge she has applied for legal aid representation. She's scheduled to return to court March 22.
Earlier, David West, 54, of Riverview was sent for a 30-day psychiatric evaluation and is scheduled to return to court Feb. 25.
Bathurst residents Britney Green, 31, and Nicholas DeAngelis, 34, were released on bail Jan. 28 and are scheduled to return to court March 10.
Codiac Regional RCMP Supt. Tom Critchlow told Moncton councillors last week that police had noted a protest Feb. 14 had followed the province's rules meant to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
For the record I crossed paths with Judge Luc Labonté BIGTIME when he was prosecuting Werner Bock He wisely dropped the charges as soon as he and I had a little pow wow on the phone and I sent him a few emails to prove what I said was true The same holds true only worse for James McAvity and his cohorts years 10 years before when he was prosecuting Corry Toole and my bother in law's former client Shawn Tabor in 2004 because those fools continued to pursue the matter for the benefit of their friend David Lutz and wannabe liberal judge even though they were duly informed of the truth of the matter
Crown withdrew 2 counts of failing to provide proper food and water because cows have been sold
CBC News·
A New Brunswick cattle farmer is no longer facing charges of failing to care for his animals.
Werner Bock had testified lasers and heat rays killed his cattle. (CBC)
Werner Bock, 70, of Petitcodiac, had been charged with two counts of failing to provide proper food and water to his cattle during the spring of 2011.
But the Crown withdrew the charges under New Brunswick's SPCA Act in Moncton provincial court on Thursday, saying Bock has sold his cows and the herd no longer needs protection.
Bock had claimed the case against him was a conspiracy by the government, veterinarians, the RCMP and CBC.
He testified that lasers and heat rays had killed his cows.
In December, Bock had been found unfit to stand trial. A psychiatric assessment showed he was suffering from a delusional disorder.
Judge Troy Sweet had adjourned the case until June 19 and released Bock on the conditions that he keep the peace and report to Moncton Mental Health for assessment and treatment.
Crown witnesses had testified about a pile of carcasses under hay bales, a dead cow in a brook and others buried in the woods.
The following year the LIEBRANOS and Luc Labonte cannot deny that I smelled something fishy while I was arguing Crown Attorneys in Federal Court

Robert McKee to run for the Liberals in Moncton Centre Lawyer won Saturday's nomination by acclamation, a spokesperson for the party says CBC News · Posted: Jun 03, 2018 4:50 PM AT
Robert McKee, a 32-year-old lawyer and first-term Moncton city councillor, declared his candidacy for the Moncton Centre Liberal nomination on May 17. (Submitted)
Robert McKee has won the Moncton Centre Liberal nomination and will run for the party in the upcoming provincial election this fall.
The 32-year-old lawyer was elected to Moncton city council in May, 2016, representing Ward 3, and declared his candidacy for the Moncton Centre Liberal nomination on May 17.
He won Saturday's nomination by acclamation, according to Duncan Gallant, a spokesperson for the party.
The availability to run in Moncton Centre for the Liberals opened up after Speaker Chris Collins said he wouldn't reoffer for the party.
Speaker Chris Collins won't reoffer for Liberals, plans to sue premier for libel 8 Liberals quit over premier's 'humiliating' treatment of Chris Collins
Premier Brian Gallant suspended Collins from the Liberal caucus on the basis of allegations of harassment made by a former employee of the legislature.
Collins described Premier Gallant's handling of the allegations as "atrocious" and will finish his term as an independent.
The election is scheduled for Sept. 24.

Judgment delivered at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 30, 2017. REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY:
THE COURT

Docket: A-48-16 Citation: 2017 FCA 213 CORAM:
WEBB J.A. NEAR J.A. GLEASON J.A.
BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
I. Introduction
[1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos) filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan (Claim at para. 96).
[2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the Prothontary’s Order).
[3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr. Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
[4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016. As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s cross-appeal.
II. Preliminary Matter
[5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with several judges but did not name those judges.
[6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. F-7:
5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal. […]
5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale. […] 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour fédérale.
[7] However, these subsections only provide that the judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this section. [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that: 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale.
[9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that appeal book.
[10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a conflict in any matter related to him.
[11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
[12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that such judge had a conflict.
[13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr. Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he was a member of such firm.
[14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb, focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
[15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias: 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the reasonable apprehension of bias: … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
[17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. (4th) 193).
[18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with his former firm for a considerable period of time.
32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving events from over a decade ago. (emphasis added)
[19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice Webb hearing this appeal.
[20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
[21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
[22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
[23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him to recuse himself.
[24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
[25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
III. Issue
[26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
IV. Analysis
A. Standard of Review
[27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
[28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to interfere.
B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the Prothonotary’s Order?
[29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court. (…)
21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance. A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he suspects he is barred from the House of Commons. [footnotes omitted].
[30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at para. 27).
[31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada, 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
[13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly. Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28 (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
[32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in public office because the actors, who barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
[33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321 D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
…When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”. “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse of process…
To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.” (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
[34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
[35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons, these allegations are not particularized and are directed against non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such, the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action.
[36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend. The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
V. Conclusion [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment, dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety without leave to amend.

David Raymond Amos I see that my old foes Luc Labonté and Claude Haché made the CBC news today and just one day after I emailed and blogged about them and THEIR BUDDIES in the RCMP. Trust that the sneaky and very greedy lawyer Brian Munro has been duly informed many times about my concerns about the dubious actions of the RCMP within various matters over the years particularly the prosecution of the Tingley Family and he always plays dumb so that he could keep billing for his services. However he certainly cannot deny the fact that knows my brother in law and his crooked law firm very well TOO TOO FUNNY N'esy Pas???

PC MLA and Education Minister Dominic Cardy has questions about Conroy's decision to attend the rally. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
Education Minister Dominic Cardy said Conroy would have to answer for her presence at the rally.
"I would not go near those sort of rallies with a 10-foot pole," said Cardy, who clashed with anti-vaccination groups when trying to win passage of a bill on mandatory vaccinations for school children.
Cardy said the rallies are being organized by Vaccine Choice Canada, who fought his bill and who he called "one of the most dangerous organizations around, spreading misinformation around vaccines."
Terry Sisson Appreciate the heads up as to the ending of the video. Saved me about 15 minutes of wasted time and a great deal of time was wasted by the police.
David Raymond Amos Looks who is talking about wasting people's precious time
Terry Sisson David Raymond Amos Yes, I am answering him and glad you noticed.
David Raymond Amos Terry Sisson Liz Kramer ran in the same election you did against the current Attorney General in her neighbouhood her words are not worth listening to as she is being prosecuted by Teddy Baby Flemming's minions for your hero Higgy's benefit????

David Raymond Amos Terry Sisson COVID-19 One arrested in protest outside Premier Higgs's house Published an hour ago Marlo Glass | Telegraph-Journal SAINT JOHN • One person was arrested at a demonstration outside of Premier Blaine Higgs's house in Quispamsis on Saturday afternoon. The Kennebecasis Regional Police Force confirmed they were on the scene enforcing the mandatory order of the Emergency Measures Act. Zone 2, which includes the greater Saint John area, moved into phase red of the province's pandemic recovery plan on Jan. 20. Sgt. Kim Bennett confirmed one arrest was made. "There have been demonstrations for the past few Saturdays, and the police have been on the scene as well," said Bennett. Liz Kramer of Rothesay, who streamed a video of the demonstration on her Facebook page, told the Telegraph-Journal she was arrested for disturbing the peace, as well as ticketed for violating the Emergency Measures Act for not wearing a mask. Craig McDougall, the officer in charge of the police response to the gathering, was not available for comment at the time of publication. Kramer ran in the 2020 provincial election as an independent candidate for the Rothesay riding. The Telegraph-Journal asked the premier's office for comment on Saturday but did not receive a response by publication time. Kramer returned to the premier's house on Sunday to "let everyone know she wasn't afraid," she said. She received another ticket for not wearing a mask in her car with another person. She says she is "protesting the non-justification of a continued state of emergency," and that she "isn't an anti-masker, just a freedom-lover." On Saturday, she was issued an additional ticket for protesting outside the premier's house the week prior. Kramer said she intends to fight the tickets in court on March 18
David Raymond Amos Terry Sisson Why not say Hey to the cops who called me when they arrested my friend Liz Kramer? Listen for their number https://archive.org/details/rothesay-cops
David Raymond Amos Terry Sisson Methinks Liz Kramer and her latest post easily proves that there are more "human beings" like us and less sheople like you with each passing day N'esy Pas?

As this Court has > previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will > administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be > rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. > Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See > also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. > (4th) 193). > > [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. > Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme > Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the > particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a > case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was > involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario > Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the > judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a > lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for > determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the > rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: > 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a > finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over > which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, > as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified. > > > 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been > asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to > the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from > taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the > defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial > judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the > Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield > Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that > there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge > and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances." > > > 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an > inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the > different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of > judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification > of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of > conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous > involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. > in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), > for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying > interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory > statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential > information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the > opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. > His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and > had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value > unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19. > > > 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances > of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a > disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are > two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to > recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, > that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and > that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of > time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: > To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform > the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this > involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is > the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on > circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, > or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. > 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson > Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of > trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had > been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with > his former firm for a considerable period of time. > > > 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter > realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly > and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because > of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement > in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. > In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the > trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that > his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a > decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would > either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former > client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw > off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a > client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years > earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving > events from over a decade ago. > (emphasis added) > > [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter > involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or > Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it > clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the > alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of > Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for > Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with > Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have > had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he > was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any > involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had > with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is > sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since > Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would > also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice > Webb hearing this appeal. > > [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. > (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no > reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of > the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement > with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm. > > [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 > F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a > reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a > lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who > was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as > Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. > Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law. > > [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD.

In the circumstances, there is no reason > for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does > not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. > > > III. Issue > > [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the > Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim > in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. > Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick > legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action? > > IV. Analysis > > A.

Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, > 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira].

Methinks its too bad so sad that CBC the Crown Corp Mr Jones works has blocked my right to free speech in a domain financed y taxpayer funds or I would tell Mikey Holland and his buddy David Berg a thing or two about rocket science, salt, clear cutting, spraying and flooding etc etc It would be fun stuff to point out particularly now that Hollan's lawyer buddy Johnny "Never Been Good" Furey left NB Power and works with the Irving's latest favourite lawyer Lenny Hoyt N'esy Pas?
Deer, a rare sight in the streets of Bathurst, have been clogging the downtown lately and no one seems to know why. (Submitted by Tyler James Ells)
A set of videos and photos posted to Facebook has sparked excitement and chatter on a subject that, to many New Brunswickers, might seem unsurprising.
Deer spotted on the street? Isn't that kind of like spotting sand at the beach?
But these photos were taken in Bathurst, which is not exactly a hotspot for deer and hasn't been for many years.
In the wildlife management area surrounding that northern New Brunswick city, deer hunting is closed, deer sightings are occasional and deer mobs are downright rare.
So when Tyler Ells saw a small herd of about 20 of the cloven-hoofed creatures prancing through the downtown core last week, he was agog.
He grabbed his phone and snapped some photos and a video, then posted them on Facebook.
About 20 deer were spotted running through a hardware store parking lot in Bathurst over the weekend. 0:28
Photos, video shared more than 4,000 times
Almost immediately, the comments started coming in.
By the next day, his photos had been shared more than 3,000 times.
By the weekend, they had topped 4,000 shares, still climbing.
Ells said he was surprised by how much attention the post got but agreed it was "definitely an amazing sight."
"It's not very often you see them on the roads like that," he said.
Tyler Ells, seen here with his girlfriend, Vanessa Gionet, says he is surprised by how many shares his deer video and pics have gotten. (Submitted by Tyler James Ells)
Acting Mayor Lee Stever said he has had a couple of "deer mob" sightings lately as well.
"We've all seen them in the past few weeks, almost every day," Stever said. "And it's funny, because they're right in our busiest section of town."
Stever said seeing that many deer, particularly in the streets, is "very unusual."
"The odd time you'll get a moose here," he said. "But not deer. There hasn't been deer hunting in northern New Brunswick for at least 30 years, so it's nice to see that the herd is strong and coming back."
Stever said there have been no complaints whatsoever from residents — aside from a few people worried the animals might get hit by a vehicle — and he has no idea what's driving them into the city.
A herd of about 18 to 20 deer has been spotted been roaming the streets of Bathurst lately. (Submitted by Tyler James Ells)
No surge in deer population, department says
The Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development said there has not been a surge in the deer population numbers in the Bathurst area, despite what the street-herd sighting might suggest.
"Deer numbers are average this winter compared to the previous winter," department spokesperson Nick Brown said in an email.
Brown said it's not unusual to see a few more deer in and around Bathurst as melting snow increases their ability to get around and "search for food," but he noted the volume of deer in the downtown core could be a safety issue.
"The main public safety concern with high deer densities near urban centres is an increased risk of deer-vehicle accidents," Brown said.
That's something Bathurst Coun. Penny Anderson worries about as well.
Anderson said she has seen deer struck by cars in the Tetagouche Hill area, about five kilometres from the downtown.
"There's a very high volume on that stretch of road," she said.
Given the sheer volume of deer roaming the downtown lately, Anderson worries those deer, too, could be at risk of being struck.
Anderson said she often sees deer in her own neighbourhood near the Gowan Brae golf course, but even she was surprised by Ells's downtown deer photos.

Mack Leigh Yup, just keep allowing Irving to clear-cut our forests, destroying the deer yards and their food source and the deer will look for food elsewhere. Responsible forestry management, responsible wildlife management ; nope not in NB ; not if Irving has its' way.
Jeff Leblanc Reply to @Mack Leigh: plenty of deer habitat in NB
Samual Johnston Reply to @Mack Leigh: what about the the other forestry companies ? There are a couple other ones that are really big
Richard Ginson Reply to @Mack Leigh: agree with you sir. But would suggest that the forestry management plan endorsed by so called DNR biologists is universal to all major players. It's sad. This windshield observer takes exception to Jeff Leblanc comment; not sure where he's at, but speaking personally from zones 10, 11, 12, 16, and 17, a very healthy deer herd from the 80's and 90's has been decimated to near zero.
Steve Dueck Reply to @Samual Johnston: no tree replanting in NB.
Dave Shimla Reply to @Richard Ginson: don't forget zone 18, 19 and 24. In those zones, irving has cut all the forest around the deer winter yards and sprayed so there is no hardwood feed for the deer. Then the deer move on the following year for new yards. then irving cuts the deer yards. Sweet plan its been going on since I was a young'in. I've seen this happen over and over again and we just keep letting it happen.
Yves Savoie After cutting deer yard after deer yard, and now they wonder why.....And they want to talk to us about saving the planet. How stupid can we be?
robert mallet Too much clear cutting ,the deer as no place to go
David Berg Reply to @robert mallet: Not true at all.
Dave Chabassol Reply to @robert mallet: "No-one goes there anymore-It's too crowded.."
Buddy Best No doubt driven from their home by Cutting and spraying. They are becoming more domesticated every day. We are driving them out of the woods.
David Berg Reply to @Buddy Best: As if. They are doing better than ever out in the country.
David Berg They are there for the salt among other reasons. Whitetail Deer ALWAYS herd up this time of year. They just happen to be in town this time. Not rocket science. Salt, water availability in town is sooner in the spring, and they congregate where it’s easier to get around than in the bush where the snow is deeper longer.
David Berg Funny the city people who get all excited to see a few deer, acting unnaturally tame, in a foreign habitat. Just to be clear, don’t go by how they are acting, and assume this is how dumb they are in the wild, with regards to tame ness.
One thing I know for certain is that even David Coon and his buddy Chucky Leblanc ain't as dumb as David Berg or Mindless Mikey Holland or Johnny "Never Been Good" Furey
A Small Modular Reactor proposed for Oakville, Ont. intended to be operational in 2029. Two New Brunswick-based proposals have received government funding to help develop the idea. (Terrestrial Energy)
Taxpayers are pouring tens of millions of additional dollars into subsidizing the development of small modular nuclear reactors in New Brunswick.
Just weeks after the provincial government committed $20 million to support one of the two Saint John companies working on the technology, the federal government has provided more than $50 million for the second firm.
"This initiative marks the beginning of a coordinated effort to ensure New Brunswick is well positioned to become the global leader in the development of SMR technologies," federal cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc, an MP from New Brunswick, said during the announcement in Saint John.
"This will obviously help meet our climate change goals as well."
Of the $56 million LeBlanc announced, $50.5 million goes to Moltex Energy to subsidize its work on developing its stable salt reactor technology.
Almost $5 million is going to NB Power to help prepare the Point Lepreau generating station site for the installation of small modular reactors built by Moltex or ARC Clean Energy, the second company in the mix.
Dominic LeBlanc, the MP for the New Brunswick riding of Beauséjour and minister of intergovernmental affairs, announced more than $50 million for Moltex, one of the companies trying to develop SMRs in New Brunswick. (Jean-François Benoit/CBC)
There's also $560,000 for a research centre at the University of New Brunswick that works on SMR technology.
Green leader David Coon said the large sums are a sign that the federal Liberal government is planning an election call soon and fears Saint John-Rothesay MP Wayne Long could lose.
"They're worried about Saint John, so they found a prime time strategically to pump some money into Saint John," he said.
But LeBlanc said nuclear energy is essential to meeting Canada's emissions-reduction targets because it doesn't rely on fossil fuels and doesn't emit the carbon dioxide that causes warming temperatures.
"We're supporting an energy solution and an energy technology with extraordinary potential not only for the economic future of our province and the country but a real opportunity to change the energy future of the world, and that would be done right here in New Brunswick."
Point Lepreau generating station is also getting $5 million from Ottawa to prepare the site for SMR construction. (CBC)
The New Brunswick Conservation Council immediately denounced the funding as well as the $20 million earlier given to ARC Clean Energy by the Higgs government and $10 million handed to both companies by the previous provincial Liberal government.
Louise Comeau, the council's director of climate change and energy solution, said the same amount could have been spent on $3,000 rebates for 28,000 electric vehicles and $5,000 energy retrofit rebates for 17,000 homes.
"More money is being invested in long-term speculative SMR research than is going to investments to cut greenhouse gas emissions today," she said in a statement.
An anti-SMR group called the Coalition for Responsible Energy Development has raised questions about whether small reactors can ever be viable, given the huge upfront cost of development needed before they can be built and sold.
Governments tout economic benefits
According to the Higgs government, if New Brunswick companies can secure just one per cent of the Canadian market for small reactors, the province would see $190 million in revenue.
Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland says "the vast majority" of funding for Moltex and ARC must come from the private sector. The $20 million the province announced for ARC is contingent on matching private investment.
Both companies say they have private investors lining up. but public money is needed to send a signal to the market.
On Thursday LeBlanc said SMRs are a potential solution for remote northern communities that depend on diesel fuel.
"The development of these technologies can completely change the future of communities like that in northern Canada," he said.
But both ARC and Moltex told CBC News last fall their likely customers are provincial power utilities.
Green Party Leader David Coon says developing SMR's will 'open up a Pandora's box of radioactive waste.' (Shane Fowler/CBC News)
Coon says he's worried that the money will lead to NB Power "popping off the lids" of silos of nuclear waste now stored near the existing Point Lepreau nuclear plant so it can begin "experimenting" with its technology.
Moltex says it can affordably extract the most radioactive parts of the existing waste, now stored in pellet form, to reuse in its process.
The company says the remainder of the spent nuclear fuel would be less radioactive for a shorter amount of time, making ongoing storage easier.
But Coon says it will "open up a Pandora's box of radioactive waste."

From CBC poll analyst Éric Grenier, the Poll Tracker aggregates all publicly available polls.
Justin Trudeau's Liberals could narrowly win a majority government if an election were held today, with seats gains coming primarily at the expense of Erin O'Toole's Conservatives. The Liberals have held a lead of about five points in national polls since the end of last summer, with little movement one way or the other. The New Democrats, Bloc Québécois and Greens would likely win a similar number of seats as they currently hold, though only the NDP has notably more support than it did on election day.

The regional picture
The Liberals could win a majority of seats because they have enough support to hold what they currently have in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. A few extra seats in Western Canada, particularly in British Columbia, put the 170-seat threshold needed for a majority government in range. The Conservatives are ahead only in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and are vying for second place in B.C. with the New Democrats. The Greens are in double-digits in support only in New Brunswick and P.E.I.

By now, it has become tiresome to point out just how long Canadians have waited since the Trudeau government tabled its last federal budget.
Week after week, Opposition MPs and partisans have piled on with the effect of lending the whole debacle an air of legitimacy, as though many are simply taking potshots at a government besieged by extraordinary circumstance.
But the reality is, this is no partisan matter. It is a travesty. It’s been 726 days and counting — the longest interlude between federal budgets in our nation’s history.
The government will argue that the singular challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic justifies a pass. That it explains nearly two years without a comprehensive fiscal plan. That the prime minister and his cabinet shouldn’t be troubled by the distraction of something as marginal to the country’s administration as a budget.
Parliament’s oversight of the nation’s finances, they argue, can wait while the government carries out its crusade to save us all from this wretched pandemic.
It is a tale as old as the Greek mythology it calls to mind. In this particular political version, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is cast as Odysseus, conquering the demons of the wider world while his kingdom awaits his return, and with it a chance to hear his postwar plans.
And it is a tale that is working for the prime minister. A recent Nanos Research poll shows that more Canadians trust the Liberals with the country’s finances than any other party.
The Canadian electorate is then like Odysseus’ devoted wife Penelope, sitting patiently and faithfully by, as they await the return of their leader and a peek into his fiscal plans.
But as Odysseus learns in Homer’s epic, other suitors will arrive — and even the most patient subject will grow weary of waiting.
And so, watch for the prime minister to use the budget, and all the promise inherent in it, as the kickoff to a spring election.
Expect a co-ordinated effort by Trudeau and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland, to ensure that Canadians understand exactly what is at stake for them in the upcoming election. That we all understand that we must return the Liberals to power if we want the benefits promised in the budget.
Here’s the playbook the government is likely to follow. Freeland will stand in the House and introduce a decidedly progressive budget designed to appeal, at a high level, to the government’s base and those to its left. It will also contain a series of measures with particular appeal to target groups and priority electoral districts.
And then, as soon as she sits down, Trudeau will walk over to Rideau Hall and ask the acting Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call an election.
And if he does, it won’t be the first time Canadians have seen that movie. The 2011 budget pulled the Harper Conservatives’ into a successful election campaign and in 2019, the Liberals’ budget framed the coming election in terms of the middle class.
On balance, with the vicissitudes of vaccine distribution being the one caveat, the opportunity looks to be ripe for the taking. A well-crafted budget — one that assuages Canadian’s post-pandemic anxieties and doesn’t entirely ignore the very real concerns about our ballooning debt — may just be the ticket to a majority government.
And there is evidence that isn’t a crazy idea. That Nanos poll gives the Liberals a nine-point lead over the Conservatives on trust to manage the country’s finances, And as every partisan knows, a Conservative party unable to earn the trust of Canadians when it comes to the public purse, is dead on arrival.
No wonder the Liberals feel as though they have wind in their sails.
And for Erin O’Toole, making up that nine-point gap will not only be a Herculean task, it will be an asymmetrical fight.
On one side, the government with the ability to deploy a budget for all its worth. And on the other side, an Opposition leader with few tools at his disposal to do the job.
The rest of us? As we have for 726 days, we will simply have to wait and see.

Trudeau government to reportedly surpass 2 years without federal budget
by Laura Carney

Ottawa is reportedly set to surpass two years without tabling a federal budget.
A senior government official tells the Globe and Mail the Trudeau liberals will not release a budget this month as it continues to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That means by the time a budget is released more than two years will have passed since the last one.
A budget had been scheduled for march 30 of last year but former Finance Minister Bill Morneau shelved that plan amid the crisis.
The official tells the Globe and Mail no decision has been made on a budget date, other than it won’t be in March or early April.
The House of Commons will be sitting for five weeks between April 12 and May 14, suggesting the budget could be released in that time.
Trudeau says government will 'absolutely' return to balanced budget
His comments come as economists and other experts have warned for months against allowing temporary relief benefits to become a fixture in the federal budget

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government will “absolutely” return the budget to balance following the COVID-19 pandemic, saying temporary spending measures will eventually be wound down.
In a wide-ranging year-end interview with CTV’s Evan Solomon that aired Sunday, Trudeau was adamant that current levels of pandemic relief would not become a permanent expense for taxpayers.
“The contextual spending we’re doing right now is because of COVID, but we are not adding to the long term-pathway,” Trudeau said.
His comments come as economists and other experts have warned for months against allowing temporary relief benefits to become a fixture in the federal budget. The Parliamentary Budget Officer and others have said that Canada currently has the fiscal space to absorb a massive spike in spending, but a failure to return to normal could create a major fiscal burden down the road.
The federal government is preparing to run a $381-billion deficit in 2021, and has meanwhile voiced plans to widen spending on a raft of social files, from childcare to affordable housing. Other measures including a more generous employment insurance regime are likely to increase federal program spending.
Trudeau also defended his decision to promise another $70 billion to $100 billion in stimulus spending over the next three years. Ottawa announced the new spending in its fiscal update in late November, but declined to provide any details about how the funding would be distributed.
In the CTV interview, Trudeau said the new stimulus would be needed in addition to the huge piles of cash that households have saved up over the pandemic.
A report last month by CIBC found Canadian households are sitting on a record-high $90 billion in excess cash, largely because they had no place to spend money during lockdown, and with many receiving cash supports from the government. In its fiscal update, Ottawa referred to the cash pile as “pre-loaded stimulus” that would spur economic growth when restrictions are eventually eased.
“When this is done and we’re allowed to go back to our local favourite pub or restaurant, people are going to rush out,” Trudeau said. “And that’s going to be a great part of the recovery, but that’s not going to be enough.”
“There’s lots of things that we’re going to need to do to give the economy a boost so we can come roaring back,” he said.
The prime minister also expressed his support of the Keystone XL pipeline, proposed by Calgary-based TC Energy. The future of the pipeline has been in question after U.S. president-elect Joe Biden said the project would effectively transport “tar sands we don’t need.”
Trudeau reiterated his support for the Alberta-to-Texas oil pipeline, which has already faced a long line of legal and regulatory hiccups since it was first proposed in 2007.
“I have been advocating for that pipeline as an important part of a continental energy strategy for many years,” he said.
Even as we transform our economy there will still be a need for the next few decades for fossil fuels and their various forms
Canada will also continue to be an oil-exporting nation 20 years from now, Trudeau said, even as his government laid out stricter environmental policies earlier this month to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Those plans include a sharp increase to carbon taxes and other industry-related programs — of which some oil and gas supports say runs counter to the long-term viability of the fossil fuels sector.
“Even as we transform our economy there will still be a need for the next few decades for fossil fuels and their various forms,” Trudeau said. “We just need to get a lot better in decarbonizing them and lean on the experts in the oil and gas industry and the expertise of energy workers to help us transform our economy for the long term.”
The prime minister also expressed regret over not having recused himself from the selection of WE Charity for a $950-million student loan program. The decision ultimately embroiled him in his third conflict-of-interest scandal since coming to power in 2015. Trudeau, his wife, and his mother had all been paid by the charity for public speaking arrangements, which he acknowledged on Sunday was bad from an “optics perspective.”
Trudeau also said he regretted not having moved more quickly to secure personal protective equipment early in the pandemic, after his office underestimated the spike in demand for masks by non-healthcare workers.
“I don’t think we understood or expected to see the kind of race for PPE,” he said. “We ended up being okay, but there are stories of frontline health workers who had to bring their masks home to wash them. That shouldn’t have happened.”

The McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA graduates succeed in a wide variety of fields, including politics. Pierre Choquette is a great example. Pierre, a 2013 McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA graduate, was recently elected president of the Liberal Party of Canada, Quebec section*.
His main objective as president will be to work with his team to prepare the party, its associations and its campaigners for the next federal election, in 2019. Among other things, they are targeting improvement in recruitment, financing, communications and organization of the associations and party in Quebec.
* The EMBA McGill-HEC Montreal takes no political position, but wishes to highlight successes of its graduates.

Constitutional and Legal Adviser (English) Michael Fenrick
This is the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, meeting 123. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h)(vii), this is the study of the breach of personal information involving Cambridge Analytica and Facebook.
Today we have with us from the Conservative Party of Canada, Trevor Bailey, the privacy officer and director of membership; from the Liberal Party of Canada, Michael Fenrick, constitutional and legal adviser, national board of directors; and from the New Democratic Party, Jesse Calvert, director of operations.
My name is Trevor Bailey. I'm the Conservative Party of Canada's privacy officer. I'd like to thank the committee for inviting me here today to discuss our privacy policy, and I look forward to answering any questions you may have surrounding that policy.
I've been the privacy officer for the Conservative Party for approximately one year in addition to my role as director of membership for the party.
The Conservative Party of Canada has had a formal privacy policy in place, including the role of privacy officer, for approximately six years. Though I am relatively new to this privacy role, I've held senior positions in the membership and fundraising departments for the past seven years. In those roles, I've had or shared the responsibility to oversee our data, access thereto and its authorized distribution.
The privacy officer role is built around our party's commitment to protecting the privacy of Canadians. This commitment is important to the Conservative Party of Canada. That commitment includes taking great care to keep both confidential and secure all information in our possession that relates to the personal information Canadians willingly provide to us or is passed to us by Elections Canada as laid out in the Canada Elections Act. That information includes surname, given names, civic address and mailing address. Other information the party may ask for and receive from individuals, like an email address, phone number, gender and date of birth, is also information we include as covered by our privacy policy and is collected through our website or in response to a mail piece with that person's consent.
As part of our privacy policy, any person may unsubscribe from our email, mail or phone lists at any time using links provided in each email message, clicking on our privacy policy at conservative.ca or contacting the party directly.
As this committee would know, as a federal political party registered under the Canada Elections Act, the Conservative Party, including its electoral district associations, candidates, nomination contestants and leadership contestants, are subject to extensive regulation under that act, including in particular the public disclosure requirements for contributions over $200. As a result of these requirements, we collect personal information from donors and members when they contribute to our party or purchase a membership. You may also choose to provide us with personal information on a voluntary basis such as when registering for an event or signing a petition. We are required by law to keep records of donors for tax purposes.
The information the Conservative Party gathers, either directly from Canadians or as a result of legislative requirements, is used for communication purposes. As a political party, we believe it is very important to communicate with Canadians on a regular basis. We are a national organization, but we have a riding-based membership system, so personal information may be disclosed to local riding associations, candidates, nomination contestants or leadership candidates for the purposes of communicating with those persons.
There is some non-personal information that we track that is also included in our privacy policy for the additional information of Canadians. That non-personal information that may be collected through our website is collected through the use of web cookies with the purpose of informing the party about how people use our website in order to help us deliver better content for those users or to assist in general advertising efforts. We inform people in our policy about how to opt out of many of the advertising features used by sites like ours by adjusting their Google Ads settings or through free services like the Network Advertising Initiative's consumer opt-out page.
To wrap up, the Conservative Party employs a variety of security systems to safeguard personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure or misuse, and from loss or unauthorized alteration. The Conservative Party does not and will not sell personal information.
As I said in the opening, the commitment to protecting Canadians' privacy is important to us, and ensuring it's kept safe and secure is something we take great care in doing.
If there are any questions on this policy, I'd be happy to take them.
Honourable members of the committee and Mr. Chair, it is a privilege to be able to speak with you today. I want to thank you for the opportunity for the Liberal Party of Canada to be heard on these important issues.
My name is Michael Fenrick, and as I was introduced before, I serve as the legal and constitutional adviser to the national board of directors. That's a volunteer position. I'm also a riding chair for the riding in my home community of Parkdale—High Park, so I also have the experience of working for the party and volunteering for the party at a local level.
Both from serving on our party's board and from working closely with grassroots volunteers, I know the party takes the protection of personal information extremely seriously. I also know how the responsible use of data can significantly increase participation and engagement in our political process.
Today, I hope to speak to you about both of those priorities, and I look forward to answering your questions.
First, I want to outline our most fundamental commitment on these matters. The Liberal Party of Canada works very hard both during and between elections to engage as many Canadians as possible in our democratic process. Protecting their personal information is a priority for the party in all of its interactions and operations.
As part of that commitment, the Liberal Party of Canada has a clear and strict privacy policy in place, which is posted on all of the party's national websites, and it can always be publicly viewed at liberal.ca/privacy. The highest level of security is implemented for all data and records that are maintained by the party. The party does not sell any personal information. At all times the Liberal Party of Canada fully complies with all Elections Canada rules and regulations for political engagement and campaign activities as required by our campaign partners, who do the same.
Why does all of this matter? Because secure and accurate data is very important to how modern political parties operate and engage with Canadians. Like all Canadian political parties, the Liberal Party uses data to engage with voters. Understanding the interests and the priorities of Canadians helps us to speak to the issues that matter most to them and in turn mobilizes democratic participation in our country.
The importance of this objective truly can't be overstated. Political parties are not commercial businesses. We are not-for-profit voluntary associations defined in the Canada Elections Act as organizations whose fundamental purpose is to participate in public affairs by endorsing candidates for election. Our interests are very different from those of private sector entities to which federal privacy legislation applies. We promote candidates to Canadians. We're informed in part by information about eligible voters and in accordance with accepted privacy practices and safeguards, and we safeguard the information that Canadians entrust us with.
Using data to help engage voters isn't a bad thing; it's quite the opposite. It helps to ensure that political parties are in tune with what matters to the electorate and that more of us are involved in elections. For as long as there have been free and democratic elections, successful candidates have worked to build detailed lists of their supporters, to understand their priorities and return to them with an ask to help out at the polls.
Knowing what interests have motivated voters and who supports our party helps us deliver relevant information and policy positions to Canadians. For example, we know that more and more people, and especially young people, are seeking out news and information online. For parties to be relevant, we need to have a strong online presence and interact with Canadians through the mediums and on the platforms they are using. That's why in recent years innovative engagement on social media, online advertising and email communications has become increasingly important to our operations.
Where do we get the information we have about voters? Like the other registered political parties, we receive an electronic copy of the list of electors from Elections Canada each year. Under the Canada Elections Act, registered parties are authorized to use the lists to communicate with electors, including for the purposes of soliciting contributions and recruiting party members, in our case registered Liberals.
For all parties, using personal information contained in the list of electors in an unauthorized manner is a criminal offence under the act. It is punishable by a fine and up to two years of imprisonment. We take our obligations in this regard very seriously.
In addition, we work hard to identify, engage and mobilize potential supporters with phone calls, outreach events, door knocking, digital advertising, emails, petitions and more. Often we keep track of information about the issues that matter most to our supporters and to Canadians, and the information they express about whether they intend to vote for us. This information is recorded if it is volunteered by the individual voter and is used to inform the party's outreach efforts and political strategies at election time.
On occasion, limited types of data are purchased by the party to help us reach out and connect with more supporters and Canadians. For example, in the past we have purchased widely available phone book-type information or Canada Post address validation lists.
While we use social media to boost voter turnout, identify supporters through issues-based petitions and ask for fundraising support, the Liberal Party of Canada does not have access to specific Facebook accounts beyond those of our own social media channels.
Our party's primary voter-contact database is a system called Liberalist. Certain individuals, including MPs, riding association executives, candidates and campaign managers may request access to Liberalist. They can view the voter information for electors in their ridings.
Account holders are assigned certain levels of access based on our internal rules and policy, and must provide their name, email address, phone numbers, riding name and address. All account holders on Liberalist must agree to be bound by a Liberalist user agreement, which sets out the terms and conditions for using the system. A copy of that, I understand, is with the clerk.
Users must only use the data for the purpose of communication on behalf of the party with voters, donors and registered Liberals. They agree that they will not keep a copy of any of the data and will not share it with anyone else.
The Liberal Party of Canada also has a strict privacy policy in place. A copy has also been filed with the clerk of this committee. We think it is a best-in-class privacy policy for protecting the personal information of Canadians.
We hope this committee will seriously entertain submissions of the Liberal Party of Canada about the importance of political engagement as a guiding factor when considering these important issues.
Hello and good morning, members of the committee. My name is Jesse Calvert and I'm the director of operations for Canada's New Democratic Party. I want to thank you for the invitation to appear before you to discuss our work with data and our privacy policies.
The federal NDP and most of its provincial sections across the country all use software called Populus to interface with our respective databases of elector data, similar in principle to both the Conservative Party's constituent information management system and the Liberal Party's Liberalist. Of course, the NDP has a unique structure, wherein the federal party and the provincial sections share a formal affiliation with a common membership.
While both the federal party and the provincial sections use Populus as a way to interface with their databases, the databases themselves are not shared. Information about electors is retained by the section collecting the data and each section uses the voters list from their respective elections agency, which is the permanent voters list produced by Elections Canada in our case, as the backbone of their own database.
With regard to membership lists, this information is handled by a single point of contact at the federal party and counterparts in the provincial sections. Each instance of Populus is separate from each other.
Populus is a web application developed by a third party contractor. This same company also developed foreAction, which is used by NDP caucus members and staff to track constituent case work. These programs are totally separate. They do not speak to each other and party staff, like myself, have no access to the case work database.
In terms of the data that we collect, like other parties, we use the Elections Canada permanent voters list, our own membership and donation lists, contact information from petitions, public data, such as from the census, and data collected as a result of direct outreach operations. We only use this data in accordance with our needs as a registered political party, and we do not give it to third parties, as a matter of policy.
We do not use any kind of psychographic modelling. Any modelling or analytics we do is based on publicly available statistical information and not personal private information. Nothing we use for these kinds of analytical purposes is more specific than, say, polling data or census information.
We understand that privacy is a serious concern and we strive to abide by the principles of PIPEDA. We have a designated privacy officer at the federal NDP, and recently put into place an updated privacy policy, which can be viewed at NDP.ca/privacy.
Here are some examples of how the party protects Canadians' privacy.
Every user of Populus must agree to terms of use before they are able to access the NDP database. Internally, we have secure protocols that govern who can access our data, what they can access and when they can access it. We abide by a principle of minimal access and only give users access to data that is relevant to their needs. For example, organizers in a given riding only have access to data in that riding. We offer electors the option to unsubscribe in every communication we have with them and we have internal security protocols to ensure that, in the event of a data breach, subjects are notified promptly.
We are in the process of moving our data into the cloud using the same provider that the Communications Security Establishment uses for unclassified data. One gap between our practice and PIPEDA that is currently in place is that we are unable to provide Canadians with their data upon request and give them the ability to correct it. This is mostly due to a lack of a security protocol to verify the identity of individuals requesting their data. We are giving this problem a lot of thought to determine how to address it properly.
In solving one problem, we do not wish to create another one. It's for that reason that we support a legislative change that would give Canadians the right to request their data and to extend the PIPEDA coverage to political parties, as is already the case in British Columbia through their legislation, PIPA. We need a consistent set of clear rules on privacy and personal data that all parties can abide by.
Thank you again for the invitation. I look forward to your questions.
There are really two elements to protecting the data. There is protecting against unauthorized access. We're talking about data breaches and attacks on our systems. That's obviously a continuing effort for us. We have a great team on that. That's not my expertise, but I do know that we have a very good data team in place. We test our systems constantly. We host in a very secure manner. We try to secure against any and all attacks. That's one side—the unauthorized access.
The other side, of course, is authorized access but inappropriate use. That would be where someone who has access in a limited capacity to the database would access information and use it in a way they were not authorized to do. We have significant policies and processes in place to minimize the impact or the opportunity for someone to do such a thing.
First and foremost is obviously limiting access to that data, so that, as my colleagues have mentioned, only people who have a need to access it have the opportunity to do so. Any of the information they do access is logged, and they are required to provide the reason for this access. If and when it's used in an inappropriate manner, we have methods, both internally and, if necessary, with the relevant authorities to.... We would co-operate fully with any investigation if there were any breach of our privacy policy or, of course, any loss.
There are two elements to it. As far as protecting our data, we have a great IT team for that. Our data security is a continuing matter. I was just talking this morning about some of the firewall protections that we're updating. The other side, which is where people have the key but want to use it in an inappropriate manner, is primarily where our policies come into play. Certainly, the procedure is that we limit the breadth of access to data that any one user can have at one time.
For our part, many of the same things that Mr. Bailey has spoken to apply equally with respect to the Liberal Party and its treatment of personal information. From the perspective of somebody outside the system gaining access, we regularly run training. We've developed a cybersecurity policy, and we regularly run training at all levels of the organization, in terms of trying to ensure that people are educated about how to avoid things like phishing scams, spoof email addresses and matters along those lines.
In addition to that, the Liberal Party's national director and the team at the head office here in Ottawa have met with the CSE in order to discuss best practices on how to secure Canadians' information. That includes using cloud-based email servers, which is what is recommended by the CSE. That has been implemented.
On the access by users who have been granted access, who are volunteers, there are a number of ways in which we protect that information. Probably the most important, though, is that it's a segmented database. You're only given access to the information on Liberalist that you need. That can be as little as a single poll or, in the case of somebody who is running a canvass, in fact, it could just be the canvass information for a particular block or two of a neighbourhood. Riding association presidents may have access to the entire riding. Very few people within the Liberal Party have access to the entire list of electors. Our database is segmented in order to ensure that only the access that you've been granted and that you need is given to you.
Unsurprisingly, much of what my colleagues have just said applies also to the New Democratic Party. We have a varying degrees of access protocol to ensure that folks who have access to the database only have access to the information that they require to do their tasks, and only a very small number of IT professionals have full access to the information.
We also have a terms of use policy that all users are required to read and understand and consent to before they are given access to their particular segment of the database. Also, as I mentioned in my opening statement, we are in the process of moving our database and our systems into the cloud, which will increase our ability to secure the information that is contained within it.
In terms of guarding against security breaches, we have a number of internal security protocols that are constantly under review and being developed and improved upon. We have ongoing threat monitoring to ensure that if a breach were to take place, we would be able to respond quickly, swiftly. We have protocols for notification, if such a situation were ever to arise to ensure that the folks whose information might have been compromised are informed of that situation.
This is my last question. Obviously you can appreciate there is a difference between a political organization and a private sector organization, and the collection of data that each one uses for its own purpose. In one regard, you're talking about a political entity that is using the data in the pursuit of democracy, and in the other, in a private sector organization, you're using that in the pursuit of profit.
Do you think the rules should remain the same or be subject to the same standards, or should there be a difference between political parties and private sector organizations?
You're absolutely right. They are separate. They are different. We currently operate under a different legislative situation, with PIPEDA coverage for private companies and not covering us as political parties.
My role with the party is to enforce our privacy policy as written, and currently it does not come up to full PIPEDA compliance, which I believe might be the suggestion there. We certainly cover all our legal requirements and we follow everything as laid out in the privacy policy, but the decision as to whether or not we should implement or change the legislative background that covers us as political parties, I leave to Parliament and to you, as a committee. We're here to enforce the rules as written, and if there's a new rule basis that comes in and takes effect for how we need to operate, then we would certainly come into compliance.
I don't have an opinion as to whether it would be required or not.
Thank you very much, Chair. My apologies for my tardy arrival.
Thanks to all of you for coming today. It is much appreciated, and there is a very important discussion that we can have here today.
In June, after four months of study of what began as the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook-AggregateIQ scandal, the committee, among a number of recommendations to government in our interim report, recommended that political activities come under the authority of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Mr. Calvert, you've already spoken to that.
As Mr. Saini pointed out indirectly, an awful lot of the testimony that we heard with regard to the Brexit referendum and interference, or attempted interference in the American political elections at different levels had to do with third party intervention. I'm wondering if each of you could comment—and Mr. Calvert a little more explicitly—as to whether or not each of your parties believes that extending the authority of the Privacy Commissioner to protect Canadians' privacy in the political sphere, as they are protected in the commercial sphere, would raise any objections with your respective parties.
Once again, as you mentioned, there was a lot of concern around third parties and their involvement. We certainly share that concern, and we want to make sure we have fair elections in this country, obviously. We play a large part in that, and we want to continue to be able to participate in the democratic process as fully as we possibly can.
That being said, as for whether there should be oversight by the Privacy Commissioner or enforcement of PIPEDA across political parties, once again I would leave that to Parliament to make that decision. My role as director of membership and privacy officer is to protect our lists, to make sure we take good care of them and to make sure everyone is treated fairly and evenly.
If anything above and beyond that came from Parliament, we would certainly come into compliance. As for whether we should, once again, I would leave that up to Parliament.
From the Liberal Party of Canada's perspective, obviously it's a critical issue that we need to address in terms of third parties. I've already outlined some of the ways in which we are trying to both address those issues and constantly improve on them within the Liberal Party.
On the issue, more broadly, of PIPEDA's application to political parties, I think we would hope that one of the serious considerations that this committee would take under advisement is the fundamental difference—I would say, founded in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms—between political participation or engagement and commercial activity. Our courts have recognized that in a number of places, including in protection of freedom of speech, etc.
If we are going to develop rules, we need to develop rules that work for all people who participate in the political process in this country. I say that from the perspective of a party that had approximately 80,000 volunteers, I think, in the last election. We need rules that work for the volunteer who's an 18-year-old, just got interested in politics, belongs to a campus club and is signing up his friends, all the way to more sophisticated people who have worked on a variety of campaigns.
From our perspective, whatever rules are developed need to recognize that fundamental reality, that political parties are voluntary associations of volunteers, fundamentally, and that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of volunteers to every paid staff member. It would be a real disincentive to participation in the political process if people could face the kinds of penalties that exist for corporations, for instance, for non-compliance under PIPEDA. It would actually have a chilling effect, I believe, on our political process to do so.
The New Democratic Party seriously believes that Canadians deserve to have trust in their democracy and to have trust in their political parties. We think that the only way to increase this trust and to increase transparency is to ensure that, first, all political parties are playing by the same rules, and second, there is the ability for oversight into the way the internal policies of the party are applied. It's for that reason that we have been calling, again and again, for the inclusion of political parties within the PIPEDA framework.
I do agree that there are differences between the way political parties do their work and the way other types of organizations do their work, and certainly there should be thought and consultation when moving toward a framework, but we are very clear. We do think parties should be included in PIPEDA. We do hope the government moves toward that goal. We believe that will increase the trust Canadians can have in the security of their information and their trust in their democratic process.
Each of you has said that your party does not sell or distribute political data beyond the party. I ask each of you to simply acknowledge whether your party buys data from data brokers.
We have a very similar process to that laid out by my colleague Mr. Fenrick. We receive our data from four main sources. We're very up front about all of these.
The primary one we don't purchase. It's provided to us as part of the electors list from Elections Canada. That is 90% of our data. It is the information about who is an eligible voter. That makes up the lion's share of what we have in our system.
We do purchase data from two sources. One is InfoCanada. It's basically the white pages. We buy the phone book, so we get some phone numbers to match up with those constituents who we get from the list of electors. The second one we purchase from is Canada Post's change of address list, so that our lists are as up-to-date as possible, because that is issued more frequently than the list of electors. We try to reconcile those two. That is it. We don't purchase from any other source.
The fourth source of data, I think we should make clear, is that which is provided voluntarily, primarily by our supporters, but sometimes by our non-supporters, when they make a contribution, show up at an event, purchase a membership, or if they were to contact us and indicate their support one way or another, or answer a phone call, survey or something of that nature. The only place we purchase data, to be very clear, is InfoCanada, which is the white pages, and—
The Liberal Party of Canada is very consistent with what my friend from the Conservative Party just said. Mainly things like phone book information and Canada Post information are examples. Much of this, for instance, Canada Post information, is purchased in large part in order to validate donors and ensure that we are compliant with our obligations under the elections act when we're accepting donations. There are a lot of reasons that we buy. It's not just to communicate, but that is an important part of it, obviously.
I think generally the same would be said for the New Democratic Party. We also want to ensure that the data we have with respect to address and mailing information is as up-to-date as possible, and we purchase information from Canada Post to make sure that's the case.
Thank you, gentlemen, for coming. On behalf of the New Democratic Party, with my colleagues here, I ask that you don't target us individually for dragging your parties' representatives into the light of day. We're just doing our job here.
Mr. Fenrick, in 2012-13, leading up to the 2015 election, it was common wisdom, heard on the radio and media, that the Conservatives were really good at micro-targeting. New Democrats weren't so bad at it, but we were really trying to pick up our game. Liberals didn't really micro-target. They did one-inch wide advertising across the country. It was seen that this would be a problem for the Liberals in 2015. Then the election came, and you guys stomped us. Your micro-targeting was really good.
How did that transformation happen? Who oversaw the creation of a very impressive Liberal data machine for 2015?
My answer, Mr. Angus, is simply that I don't have that information available to me right now, but I'd be happy to identify that information for you at a future point.
For the next election, it appears that your party will be working with Tom Pitfield and Data Sciences. He did work on the 2015.... What will the relationship be between Data Sciences and the Liberal Party, in terms of a digital strategy?
I can speak generally. In terms of our involvement with any third party provider, we ensure that those third party providers are bound by privacy obligations similar to the ones we impose upon ourselves. We include, in agreements with third party providers, that their use of the data is similarly restricted in order to protect the privacy interests of the data holder or the personal information of those individuals.
Mr. Pitfield was pretty impressive in 2015. Is that why you're working with Data Sciences? Is it because of their expertise in doing this kind of electoral data running?
Mr. Bailey, one of the things we talked about this morning was protocols and limits to accessing databases. In 2011, when we had the Pierre Poutine scandal, apparently a young staffer was able to make calls based on the Conservative CIMS database.
How was it possible that someone, a young volunteer, was able to have access to the databases if we have protocols in place to limit access so that abuse doesn't happen?
In 2011, the situation as described was in one riding. It was in the riding of Guelph. The young individual you identified was a member of the campaign in Guelph. He was a member of that team and thus did have access to the database for the region for which he was responsible, which was Guelph. The use of that data, particularly drawing non-supporter information with the purpose of deceiving those voters, was certainly a breach of privacy policy both then and now, as well as of Elections Canada law and significant laws.
We certainly were not pleased with that, and that is one of the reasons we now have a league-leading privacy policy. We have changed not only the policy. It's not just putting words to it. The ability to access data has changed significantly since that time, and I'm very confident in the processes we now have in place. The system at the time limited his access to only the region for which he had responsibility. That was one of the key limits at the time, but his access was approved by the campaign at that time, which was one of the checks against access.
It was a breach of our policy and a breach of Elections Canada law. We have evolved as an organization because of it, not just with respect to our policies but certainly with our procedures and the ability to access data. It has changed since 2011.
Mr. Calvert, part of the reason we have undertaken this study is the Cambridge Analytica scandal. It's not just a question of political parties having data, but to be able to micro-target the issue of manipulating voters online.
The question that's come up time and time again involves data points that are collected by parties, the psychographic modelling. Does the New Democratic Party have an identified number of points of information it would like per potential voter to know whether they're in our universe? How do you target voters? Are you using psychographic modelling or statistical modelling to identify where potential voters or non-voters are?
Like all parties, we're trying to talk to the people who are most likely to care about the issues we care about. We're trying to identify the groups of people who are most interested in the issues we stand up and fight for every day. We use publicly available data to do this, but the data and information we use is not personal information. It's not personally identifiable information. It's information that's publicly available and speaks to trends and groups of individuals.
In the end, the goal of a political party is to engage Canadians in conversations, to learn more about them by asking good questions and to improve upon our policies by listening to those answers. That's what we try to do on a day-to-day basis, whether through our online outreach or through our door-to-door outreach. That's our mindset going into it.
Once again, I'll leave it up to Parliament and your committee to make a recommendation on that. My role with the party is to protect our lists and to follow our policies. I think we have a very good, leading privacy policy, but as for whether it should be in place, I leave that—
You feel that the penalties are too heavy. Do they compare to B.C.? In B.C., there hasn't been a great drop off—at least, I'm not aware of it—of volunteers because they are subject to the B.C. privacy laws. However, you think that PIPEDA laws are more strict than the B.C. laws. Is that your concern?
I don't know the B.C. law in any sort of detail, but I do believe that the way that the penalties operate will be a disincentive to people's participating if PIPEDA were to be applied.
However, I think it's important to have the complete context before making that decision.
Whether you're subject to PIPEDA or some other laws, let's say we're talking about the parameters of use. You have this database. For example, should you be able to commercialize a database? Do you have any thoughts on that?
You've collected a ton of data. People are making money all over the place.
How about this? I have charities and charities often swap data. They say, “We have this pool of donors, and if you tell us your pool of donors, we'll tell you our pool of donors.” Now you're not making money from your database, but you have a very valuable database and someone else may have a valuable database, not your competitors but some other company. Should you be able to trade that data, giving them some of your data and getting some of their data so that, together, you've built a stronger database?
I think that Canadians expect that the information that we receive from Elections Canada and gather through our outreach efforts will be protected and kept within our database, so I think that's probably not something that we would find effective, efficient or correct.
You don't do it because you don't do it, but theoretically some fourth person from a fourth party could do it, and we're now trying to figure out the parameters of use.
As covered by our privacy policy, we collect it for the purpose of electioneering, for running a campaign, for contacting them for the purposes of winning an election. What you're describing doesn't fit with our policy, so no.
Mr. Baylis, I'd just like to interject with one more point. Of course, the list of electors that we receive is subject to the Canada Elections Act, and that's the primary point, I think, for all three parties in terms of the information that we collect. There are penalties, quite steep and serious penalties, for using that information right now.
That's the list of electors that you've collected. I understood that. However, then you've added stuff through your door knocking and through your phone calls—that this person likes pizza and that person likes hamburgers—that helps you to sell them your political views. That's the data that I'm talking about. You're saying that you'd be comfortable if we did not allow you to share the data that you're collecting.
I want to follow up on what Mr. Angus was asking about: micro-targeting. Right now we might collect people's religious leanings, people's ethnicities, what languages they speak and things of that nature. Do you see a limit to how far we should allow political parties to go?
If we pick up, for example, that a person is part of a hate group or a person has some sorts of views that are not acceptable in general society, you might be able to use that view. We see this in politics, so it's not hypothetical. We see this and it's used to push them a certain way. That's part of what we found out in this study and in other places.
How should we have parameters of what we should and should not allow you to do and collect? Is there anything that we should not allow you to collect?
I actually haven't thought too much about that question. I think it's a good question. We might be able to get back to you on more specifics about how—
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here this morning.
I have no doubt as to the sincerity of your remarks today. From my 30 or so years in politics, I can tell you that, even though we are now living in the computer age, we've learned absolutely nothing. Forty years ago, I was working with people who were 50 and 60 years old at the time and who had been in the field for 40 years. When election time came around, there were lists of electors with people's phone numbers, and they were the right phone numbers. Back then, it was easy. Everyone had phone books and they were very thick. When we received the list of electors with people's names and addresses, we could look them up in the phone book. In many cases, a single household would have four, five or six voters, all with the same telephone number. That's no longer the case today.
Unfortunately, the number of land lines has dropped significantly every single year since I entered federal politics, and this will be my fifth election. Today, only 30% to 40% of people have land lines. All the rest of voters have cell phones. We don't have access to cell phone numbers, making it increasingly difficult to reach all voters. One riding can have 90,000 voters. We can knock on 10,000 doors, but let's not kid ourselves, we also have to spend time reaching out to people by phone.
Nowadays, we hear a lot about profiling. We assume people vote a certain way because they have certain views, but we can't just call them on the phone. We assume they think a certain way and we use social networks like Facebook to reach those people because we can't talk to them otherwise.
Do you think we should be allowed access to the cell phone numbers of people on the list of electors? It's fairly easy to get the phone numbers of people with land lines, but we can't get cell phone numbers, and the issue is only going to get worse. Is that something we should ask for, as lawmakers?
I'm sorry, you're asking whether we think that political parties should be given cellphone numbers through, say, the permanent electors list that Elections Canada generates. Is that your question?
We can get people's land line numbers from online directories—since actual phone books have all but disappeared—but cell phone numbers are considered confidential and we don't have access to them. Not being able to communicate with voters is problematic in many ways, and it's getting worse every year. As people die, the proportion of land lines drops between 1% and 5% a year. Young people own only cell phones. In 15 years, just 20% of the population will be accessible to us by phone.
Should we raise the red flag to say that it's time to do something about this situation? It's a genuine problem, after all.
I think that society continues to change and technology continues to change, and the way we do things has to also continue to change. The goal of a political party, or at least our political party, the New Democratic Party, is to engage Canadians in meaningful conversations. Anything that, say, Elections Canada was able to provide to us to allow us to do a better job at that, we would generally be supportive of.
On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada as well, part of the reason that we were excited to have this opportunity today was to discuss how it is not just that we're going to protect Canadians' privacy, which is obviously of critical importance, but also how we are going to meaningfully engage Canadians in the 21st century in order to have those discussions. I'm not sure of the logistics around the particular cellphone issue, but I am aware of the statistics that you have cited to the committee here today.
I do think it's of concern that it is more difficult every year for political parties to actually have discussions, not just with their supporters but with all Canadians, in order to provide an opportunity to actually understand what the electorate is looking for, which is why I think all of the committee members are in this business.
It's more access to data for us that can be provided to us legislatively by Elections Canada. We put a lot of effort into acquiring that information, so if it can be provided to us we would welcome it.
First of all, the exercise you're doing will hopefully put trust back in our population, not just us. Our job is quite a victim of cynicism, but we need ways to make sure that people can trust our institution, if that's the exercise you're fulfilling.
My concern is about working with third parties. Do you sell your data to third parties?
Are you saying all the data we're working on in each of your respective organizations stays within the organization and any third parties that may want to access the data.... How do they proceed if they want to access your data? With research centres, academics and foundations that are supportive of your lines of policy, how do you manage dealing with third parties, then?
We certainly are approached by third parties for that sort of thing from time to time. Our specific policy covers sharing, for our purposes, federally, as well as the local campaign level nominees. We recently had a leadership race and they were covered by that as well. Those are the only separate organizations—and of course they fall under the umbrella of the Conservative Party of Canada—that we share our information with.
Other than sharing within the party itself with our provincial and territorial boards, not the provincial party, the Ontario Liberal Party, or what have you, but our provincial territorial boards, which are part of our national organization, and at the riding level, we don't share our information with anyone.
The only exception to that would be in circumstances where we have engaged a third party supplier. In those circumstances we ensure that there are contractual provisions in place in order to protect the use of that data. It's not selling it. It's not renting it. It's using it in order to engage Canadians through a phone bank, or what have you, in order to communicate with them.
We also do not sell, rent or share our data with third party organizations. From time to time we contract with third party providers to do the work of the registered political party. We ensure that the contracts that we have with them include strict contractual obligations to protect the confidentiality of the information that they might have access to and that they agree to fall under any of the privacy provisions that folks working within the party also have to fall under.
But the possibility remains that when we work with third parties as soon as they have their hands on data for the purpose of the agreement they have with you, we tend to lose control over what they do with the data, or is that...?
At least for us the protocols in place when that happens are very strict.
If a third party contractor requires information of ours to do the job that we contracted them to do, they might have access on a read-only basis but they don't have the ability to, say, download the information, copy the information or take it off premises. Certainly, we think long and hard before we engage someone from the outside to help us with our work. Once we do make that decision, we ensure that strict policies are in place and that legal and contractual obligations are instituted before anything happens.
By the way, in your presentation, you mentioned that you created your system or updated your system recently. What was the upgrade about? Was it about policies or data protection, and what triggered that?
We are in the process of moving our IT systems to the cloud. We're moving away from the holding of information on the premises and moving it into the cloud. I'm not an IT professional, so I can't get into the specifics, but it's my understanding that, here in the 21st century, it is standard practice to increase security and increase a whole bunch of other operational abilities, one of them being the security of the data. That's the process that's ongoing right now.
During the study of the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook-AggregateIQ scandal, we have heard repeated recommendations from academics, from IT experts and from social media security experts that, on the basis of what happened in the Brexit referendum, where confected third parties controlled and targeted advertising buys on social media—and the same thing in the United States—there was a common recommendation that a political registry of advertising buys be set up so that one could see transparently what ads were purchased by the political parties or by third parties and how they were targeted.
I wonder if each of you could comment on what your party position might be towards that sort of registry, to show how your advertising buys in the writ period or perhaps even the pre-writ period of a campaign would be applied.
Absolutely. We share the same concerns about third party involvement in the election—this past election and those upcoming. If there were to be some increased requirement for us to fully register all ad purchases across all channels so that they could be investigated on an individual level.... Of course, we are required to list all election expenses and we are currently complying with that requirement, but if what is required to clean up the election is to get to the individualized level, then I think that's something that we would be in favour of if it comes forward from Parliament.
As well, obviously, Canadians have the right to expect an election that's not interfered with by third parties. If that is a measure that goes some way towards addressing those concerns, then it would be one that certainly should be considered.
As I understand it—and I may be mistaken because I appreciate that all of you are much more expert in this issue than I am—if Bill C-76 is passed into law, it will contain some measures with respect to Facebook ads and other matters. Many of these issues may be addressed by that legislation, and we welcome that.
I think that generally the New Democratic Party has and will continue to stand up for more open and more transparent elections. As I've said, we do think that a political party should be brought into the PIPEDA framework, and I think that any measure that increases transparency increases the confidence that Canadians have that political parties are all playing by the same rules.
One of the loopholes that wasn't addressed or is not being addressed by Bill C-76 is the fact that charitable American dollars that might have a political objective in determining, supporting or affecting a Canadian election can be effectively converted into Canadian dollars by being transferred from that American charitable group to the Canadian charity, which can then distribute them to third parties to be used in election campaigns. The witness who most effectively made this point, Vivian Krause said that it's easy for any individual political party to say that they take the high road in a political campaign if a third party is throwing the mud and making the political accusations on the campaign trail.
I wonder if any of your parties would encourage the government to more effectively enable the CRA to respond to Elections Canada's unknowns about how these foreign charitable dollars are getting into the Canadian election process.
There are a couple of things. Other than working with Elections Canada on Bill C-76 consultation and any ongoing consultation on this matter, that's a bit outside my purview as privacy officer and membership chair. I'm not sure I can speak for the party on that particular issue other than, obviously, we want to make sure we have fair elections going forward.
That's outside my purview as well. However, I can say quite strongly that obviously the Liberal Party is concerned about foreign money and its potential influence on our election.
Other than that, I don't think I can comment on that specific legislative suggestion.
New Democrats are certainly concerned about foreign influence, whether it be monetary or otherwise. As I've said again and again, transparency is good. We believe in transparency and we think it increases the confidence of all Canadians in the democratic process.
Without knowing the details of that specific recommendation, in general, transparency when it comes to elections is a good thing.
This morning, I realized that I had been a party volunteer for 25 years. It's worth noting that 25 years ago, we weren't talking about these rules, policies or codes of conduct. We are talking about them today, though. Protecting Canadians' information and making sure protocols are in place is important. I'd like to ask a few questions about what's happening on the ground. I think political parties have put codes of conduct in place, but I'd like to know what's actually happening on the ground.
How can parties make sure volunteers know about these policies, for instance, within the Federal Liberal Riding Association of Ottawa-Vanier? Can you tell us how you make sure that the people working on the ground understand the importance of protecting Canadians' personal information?
Mr. Bailey, you can go first. Please keep your answer brief.
We take it very seriously that we train our local volunteers. You're right; there are several levels of volunteers that exist, by their level of involvement. Mr. Fenrick mentioned earlier that it would be very difficult to impose stiff penalties upon someone at a lower level, so that works in a couple of different ways. One is that you need to provide them training and only provide them access to what they should have access to.
Most of our volunteers don't have access to any data. They should know that we'd have privacy policies and that they are covered by them because they are an extension of us during that time, but we need to limit the access to only those who truly need it. That comes from training at the local level. It comes from training of campaign managers. It comes from properly vetting all access so that we can effectively start up a campaign quickly and be compliant with any and all regulations.
Training is huge and key at all levels of the volunteer chain, including at the very basic level where people are out canvassing and have information. Obviously, limiting access as well, so people only have access to the information they need is important, and in addition to that, where people do have access, ensuring that there are protections in place.
We have our Liberalist user agreement, where anybody who has access to it is bound by it and has agreed to ensure to hold that information and to return it at the end of their use so that they actually don't maintain any of that information. They're reminded of those obligations from the very moment they begin to have any access to it.
Training is top on the list, and continued reinforcement of the importance of not just reading but understanding the protocols that are in place when they're given access or given a piece of information. It's why, if you are granted access to a Populus instance, where you might have access to a segment of information, you actually have to log on and read through the terms of use and take an affirmative step by saying, yes, you agree to this, and clicking the button. We try to write those in the clearest possible terms. That's why we have a privacy officer, not just to hear complaints but also to be a point of contact for individuals throughout our organization to ask questions.
You're absolutely right. Things have continued to change over the last 25 years. Certainly my generation, the younger generation, is very aware of the new world we're living in, so it's important for us to provide a point of contact for people throughout the organization to ask the questions they have.
I'm going to stay on the topic of privacy protection.
We talked about third parties. Specifically, how do your parties protect against the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of data to third parties, as far as volunteers and staff members go? How do you monitor that? How do you evaluate that?
Absolutely, sharing information with third parties is of significant concern. As I mentioned, the security of our data is split into the two methods: protecting the data, and protecting against unauthorized access. It is evolving, but we certainly have an organization and leading privacy policy, which I haven't mentioned explicitly, and they do sign those agreements.
We start anywhere from, as the first step, simply cutting off access and then investigating it, to issuing cease and desists both to the individuals who have drawn the information and anyone who we believe has access to it. In terms of legal involvement, our legal team will get involved quickly if we feel that it has been used.
It's requested, and in fact demanded, that they destroy any copies of data if it came from our source and was used inappropriately. Then, of course, with any type of authorities that we need to go to further, if there are other rules or laws that have been broken, particularly Elections Canada laws, which are pretty broad on this topic, we co-operate with any and all investigations. Our data is our most valuable asset.
The Liberal Party of Canada regularly does training with its staff in order to address issues along the lines of when you get spoof emails and phishing scams. We regularly get involved in those sorts of security processes to ensure that the information is not disclosed.
The second piece just comes back to the segmented database we use, which is not simply to provide limited scopes of access to users. The database itself is segmented such that it is a more secure way of proceeding, such that information can only be accessed in tranches, rather than the complete information.
Jesse, are you sure you're a New Democrat? That was awfully concise.
Let's try for concision in this little speed round.
Thank you for being here. It's fair to say that in order for your parties to be effective, you need to be able to communicate with voters, and in order to do that effectively, you need to understand voters at an individual level. Each party collects information on individual Canadians in terms of voting intention, where they live and voter ID. Is that correct?
That has increased over time, in terms of the wealth, depth and breadth of the information that each of the parties holds about individual Canadians. Is that also true? Compared to 20 or 30 years ago, is it fair to say that what we know about individual voters has increased significantly?
As I mentioned a couple of times earlier in this room, I would leave that to Parliament. As the party, we would enforce whatever rules are placed upon us to make sure we're compliant.
We would not support the application of PIPEDA en masse and en bloc to political parties in the sense that, as it's currently drafted, it's intended to address commercial activity. It's not intended to address political activity.
Right now, we have no laws governing privacy in political parties. As it was described by the Privacy Commissioner, it's the wild west.
According to the Chief Electoral Officer, Bill C-76, which you referenced earlier, has nothing of substance in it when it comes to privacy. The status quo will continue, which is that none of you are under any legal obligations when it comes to privacy as pertains to the federal laws. Is that right?
As it currently stands, there may be certain situations, but I don't think I can speak to that issue directly. What I can say is that PIPEDA, as it currently stands, is not an appropriate tool for managing political parties and political engagement in this country.
That's interesting because we even recommended one step down from PIPEDA, and your representatives from your party rejected that as well. The status quo is nothing. The Chief Electoral Officer and the Privacy Commissioner have all recommended that we have something. What's the New Democrats' position on this?
As I've said a number of times in this proceeding, we have said as a party before, and will continue to say, that we thoroughly believe that all political parties should be playing by the same rules. There should be a clear set of rules. We believe that the way to do that is to bring political parties under the jurisdiction of PIPEDA.
You're all keen observers of politics. You watched the recent U.S. presidential election, the Brexit referendum that happened in England, the implications of Cambridge Analytica—
Twenty-three years ago today we had a referendum in this country in Quebec. If a similar referendum were held in these contexts right now and the political parties were hacked because there wasn't proper privacy protections in law, imagine the result of that vote in Quebec, as it was with Brexit in England. There would be suspicion and the reality of foreign influence over a referendum question. A pivotal referendum question in Canada would be affected by outside sources.
Would that real threat not present us with more urgency to actually do something about this in Canadian law, something that you, apparently, could abide by if we passed such legislation?
That's a great question to leave hanging in the room as we close today.
Thank you for coming today, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Fenrick and Mr. Calvert. We much appreciate your attendance at our committee as the officially recognized parties. Again, thank you for your appearance today.

Quebec man wants to visit father in N.B. before dementia robs them of a final goodbye
Province has denied request because pandemic rules allow only 'end-of-life' visits
CBC News· Posted: Mar 21, 2021 1:14 PM AT
Mike Pitre, left, with his father, Leonda, who has vascular dementia. Pitre, who lives in Quebec, filed a request with the government to visit New Brunswick through proper channels put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, but his application was denied. (Submitted by Mike Pitre)
Mike Pitre just wants to see his dad before his dad doesn't know who he is.
"I want to go and hug him and spend time with him, and I want to hug him — in a period where he still realizes that he's hugging his son," said the New Brunswick native who now lives in Gatineau, Que.
His 78-year-old father, Leonda Pitre, lives in Campbellton, N.B., and was diagnosed with vascular dementia about a year ago.
Leonda's condition has been deteriorating. Some days, he doesn't recognize his wife, Lucienne. Other days, he gets up to leave for a job he retired from many years ago.
He usually knows his son during their phone calls and recognizes his photo, but Pitre worries about how much longer that will last. He'd like to visit his father one last time before dementia robs them of a chance for a final goodbye.

"I would desperately like to go visit him sometime in the next few weeks before it is too late, and he does not recognize me anymore."
Pitre filed a request with the government to visit New Brunswick through proper channels put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, but his application was denied.
If his father's death was imminent, he would be allowed to visit.
I can drive from Gatineau in nine hours to Pointe-à-la-Croix, but I can't drive the last five minutes to get to my parents' house.
- Mike Pitre
According to the province's website, "The Canadian Red Cross has been authorized to approve travel into New Brunswick for end-of-life visits with an immediate family member."
Those granted permits must still comply with self-isolation guidelines, but if they "need to attend a funeral, burial or end-of-life visit in a hospital, hospice or nursing home prior to completing 14 days of self-isolation, [they] must first test negative for COVID-19 on the fifth day of self-isolation."
After a negative result, "you may only leave your place of self-isolation as required for an end-of-life visit or to attend a funeral or burial service in compliance with public health guidelines. If you need to visit your family member in home for end-of-life visit prior to completing 14 days of self-isolation, strict protocols for these visits will be provided to you by Red Cross staff."
Sad and angry
"Apparently the new normal allows me to visit my father on his death bed or in a coffin but not while there is a spark of life still left in him," Pitre wrote on Facebook.
In an interview with Radio-Canada, he said he's sad, frustrated and angry.
"I can drive from Gatineau in nine hours to Pointe-à-la-Croix, but I can't drive the last five minutes to get to my parents' house. I don't understand the logic. It just floors me," he said.
Pointe-à-la-Croix is in eastern Quebec on the Restigouche River, across from Campbellton.
On Thursday, during the New Brunswick government's live-streamed COVID-19 update, Health Minister Dorothy Shephard was asked about whether there's any way for Pitre to visit his father.
"As of today, I'm not thinking that there's a path, a clear path, here," she said.
Shephard encouraged him to follow the process that's in place and submit an application, "and I'm sure that as soon as we can make a positive answer, we will."
She said it's "heartbreaking," but the rules are in place to protect the public.
Barry Humberstone has spent the last six months in Florida with his American girlfriend, Michelle Williamson. (Submitted by Michelle Williamson)
A Canadian snowbird who just drove from Florida to Prince Edward Island says he is now driving to Ontario to quarantine with relatives after being turned away by officials at the Confederation Bridge because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Barry Humberstone has owned a home in Northport, P.E.I., for less than a year, after moving there from Georgetown, Ont., but has spent the last six months in Florida with his American girlfriend, Michelle Williamson.
Humberstone, 60, said he was denied entry to the Island on Tuesday — twice, in fact, because he turned around in New Brunswick and tried again — because his driver's licence, car registration and health card are still from Ontario — things he admits he should have changed sooner.
"They seen the Ontario plates, I have Ontario plates on my car and an Ontario licence, and they started asking a bunch of questions and I said 'this is my principal residence' and they said 'you can't prove that.'"
Humberstone said he has a truck at his P.E.I. home that is registered on P.E.I. He showed officials that, as well as the taxes he paid last year on his P.E.I. property, he said.

He said he was told the documents were not proof he lives on P.E.I. full-time.
"I'm a snowbird, I should be treated like a snowbird not like a cottager. They're penalizing me because I live in Florida six months? And that doesn't make me a full-time resident in P.E.I.? Of course it does! That's my home!" Humberstone said in a conversation with CBC News from his car. He said officials argued that his residence was a cottage, not a house.
"Well, it's not a cottage for me — that's my principal residence," he said.
Checkpoints were put in place at Confederation Bridge and the Charlottetown airport on April 1.
Travellers are being asked about their reasons for coming to P.E.I., and those not on the list of essential travellers are turned around. Residents are allowed to return to their homes but the province has been discouraging cottagers from coming to their summer homes.

Humberstone said his mother was from P.E.I. and he has family here. When reached at her home in Alberton, his cousin Debbie Murphy confirmed she had prepared Humberstone's home with supplies for a two-week self-isolation period. She also vouched for his status as a permanent resident.
"I feel really bad for him," Murphy said. "He should have been allowed in."
Humberstone said he sold his home in Ontario two years ago and describes himself as a semi-retired home builder. He said he slept in his car Monday night.
"I was devastated, where am I going to go? That's what I said to them, 'Where do I go? I have nowhere to go,'" he said.
Humberstone said he and his girlfriend, who remains in Port St. Lucie, Fla., have contacted provincial officials and were told someone would check into his situation, but have yet to get a reply.
'Very confident in the plan'
Transportation Minister Steven Myers said late Tuesday he doesn't know the specifics of Humberstone's case, but has faith that officials at the bridge checkpoint acted properly.
'We've been asking officers to err on the side of caution,' says P.E.I. Transportation Minister Steven Myers. (Julien Lecacheur/Radio-Canada)
"They have to make a decision very quickly because the car comes, it's right there," Myers said.
"We've been asking officers to err on the side of caution ... we're very confident in the plan we are executing at entry points."
Myers said Humberstone can email P.E.I.'s highway safety division of the Transportation Department to help him meet requirements. Those who are approved can use the email as "a quick way in," when they reach P.E.I.'s checkpoint, Myers said.
Those requirements are to have a self-isolation plan, supports in place such as people to help you, contact information, and proof of somewhere to stay during your self-isolation period, Myers said.
"It goes against our very nature as Islanders not to be welcoming ... but sometimes you have to make tough decisions," Myers said. "These are different times that we're in and we're trying to do our very best to keep Islanders healthy and safe."
So far 36 people have been turned away, he said.
Humberstone said he will email the province and head back to P.E.I. as soon as he is permitted.

David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal election that was held June 28.
He was a candidate in our constituency of Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal). I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on the candidates' debate held June 18.
As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election. The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.
I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo that ran, but this one is very similar.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions—motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."
What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’"

Cross Country Checkup1:53:00March 21, 2021- What's your reaction to the Rogers-Shaw deal? Are you satisfied with the price and speed of your internet and cell phone service?
Rogers Communications has announced a plan to buy Shaw Communications for $26 billion, marking the biggest deal for Canada's telecommunications industry in two decades — and creating the country's second-biggest telecom company.
The merger promises investment in the country's 5G networks, according to Rogers, but consumer watchdogs caution that the move will limit competition for Canadians who are already paying high costs for internet and cell phone service.
The deal is subject to approval by Canadian government regulators, including the Competition Bureau of Canada.

Critics of Rogers-Shaw merger say government must mandate affordable internet in remote areas
'It doesn’t do well for the consumer by a long shot,' says head of New North Networks of merger
CBC News · Posted: Mar 21, 2021 4:00 AM ET

News of a proposed $26 billion Rogers-Shaw merger this week, a move that would combine two telecom giants, has Canadians casting a critical eye on the prices they pay for TV, cell and internet services — and nowhere is that felt more acutely than in Northern Canada.
Residents there have fewer options for services, and geography means that connections may be slow or non-existent, and prices are often higher.
Tom Zubko is the head of New North Networks based in Inuvik, N.W.T., a company that offers digital cable TV and high-speed internet services.
He says that the merger will concentrate power among fewer large companies and says the federal government and CRTC are failing to ensure communication services are affordable for consumers.
"It doesn't do well for competition. It doesn't do well for the consumer by a long shot," Zubko told Cross Country Checkup.
"The government hasn't been able to come up with any kind of a cohesive plan to lower the cost of cell service or other communication services across the country, in spite of the fact that there are places, you know, like Australia that has an extremely strong, consumer-oriented type of communications program," he said.
Tom Zubko, president of New North Networks, says that the government and the CRTC are failing to ensure communication services are affordable for consumers. (Mackenzie Scott/CBC)
Zubko says that fewer companies in control means they can price out the smaller companies and prevent them from competing. For example, he says his company buys internet and transport services from a company in Alberta, but that company was taken over by Bell last year.
"So where we have some fairly reasonable pricing right now for services into northern Alberta, we don't have a lot of confidence that Bell won't change those once it fully integrates the takeover that it made a year and a half ago," he said.
"If they want to stop us from competing, they raise the prices there and it makes it more expensive, more difficult for us to bring services to our customers, no matter how good we are at doing it on a local basis."
No accountability, says advocate
Zubko's concerns are echoed by Andy Kaplan-Myrth, vice president of regulatory and carrier affairs for the internet service provider TekSavvy.
"If this deal goes through .... if Rogers buys Shaw and the government and the CRTC don't get serious about supporting wholesale, prices are going to go up for sure," he said.
In this proposed merger, Rogers has only committed not to raise prices for a short amount of time, he points out.
"I mean, that's basically an admission that a consolidation like this involves prices going up," he said.
Kaplan-Myrth says that it doesn't make sense for carriers to each build their own infrastructure and compete against each other there. Instead, there should be a wholesale model that provides access to network infrastructure for a variety of internet service providers, who can then compete on pricing to consumers.
"Every Canadian deserves reliable, affordable, and high-speed connectivity and we're at a critical inflection point where generational investments are needed to make Canada-wide 5G a reality and close the urgent connectivity gap," wrote Rogers spokesperson Andrew Garas in an email to CBC News.
"As part of bringing our companies together, we will create a new $1 billion fund for rural, remote, and Indigenous communities, new jobs and investment in Western Canada, with the scale needed to bring these vital services to more communities, more quickly, than either company could do on its own."
Rogers Communications has signed a deal to buy Shaw Communications in a transaction valued at $26 billion, including debt. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2022, pending regulatory and shareholder approval. 2:44
Laura Tribe, the executive director of OpenMedia, an advocacy group that supports open and affordable internet access, says that she doesn't see a mechanism in the proposed deal that would guarantee Rogers would increase investment in rural internet access and there's no way to hold them accountable if the work doesn't get done.
"We know that in rural Canada and remote areas of Canada, the quality of service, the affordability of service … is much worse than it is in southern and more urban areas of Canada," she said.
"When we're looking at the communities that are the most underserved, they have been passed over time and time again for a reason. These companies don't think they can make enough money there," she said.
Huge bills, bad service in the north
High prices for consumers is something Madeleine Redfern knows all too well.
She is the chief operating officer of CanArctic Inuit Networks, a company building a 3,000 kilometre subsea fibre optic connection from Clarenville, N.L. to Iqaluit.
Redfern, who is the former mayor of Iqaluit, says that residents don't have bundled packages for internet, phone and cable, no unlimited broadband and pay significant amounts of money for data overages. She says many households will find themselves paying hundreds of dollars a month for these services.
"Many of our neighbours, we know that their internet bill, especially since COVID, people are paying anywhere between $500 to $1,000 a month," she said, adding that her own bill for the month of January was $1,200.
Madeleine Redfern is the chief operating officer of CanArctic Inuit Networks, which is focused on building a fibre-optic cable to carry internet from Newfoundland to Iqaluit, Nunvaut. (Submitted by Madeleine Redfern)
The lack of stable connections in some areas causes significant hurdles for people trying to go about their daily lives, such as trying to pay using a debit card or credit card, which requires an internet connection.
"The transaction is not going through because the signal keeps dropping," she said. "You simply may be faced with a situation where you can't pay for your gas, you can't get money out of an ATM or from the bank teller or pay for your groceries."
Families weren't able to send their children to school online, and students who wanted to attend post-secondary remotely were unable to because of the unreliability of the internet.
The fibre optic link that Redfern's company plans to build, the SednaLink, would replace the current satellite links for internet access, and is scheduled to be completed in 2023.
The most important part, said Redfern, is that the company is Inuit-led and would work on a utility model for pricing. She noted however, that the company will sell wholesale access to internet service providers who will then sell services to consumers.
Redfern says that Rogers and Shaw don't provide service in Iqaluit so she doesn't see the merger directly affecting residents.
"The main impact is that we're seeing a move across the country to the dominance of large telecommunications titans" she said.
"It does make it harder for the development of either local or regional internet service providers, let alone the ability for Indigenous internet service providers and telecommunications companies to get into this important sector."

Federal delays could smother Inuvik's fledgling satellite industry, says telecom prez
Six new satellite antennae are ready for service in Inuvik, but delays in licensing could kill the project
Walter Strong· CBC News · Posted: Jun 09, 2017 5:30 AM CT
Tom Zubko, who owns the company that maintains and operates the receiving station, said the industry keeps six people on the payroll in a city that has seen little economic activity since energy exploration ended. Construction would add more jobs, he said. (David Thurton/CBC)
Six new satellite dishes sit unused in Inuvik. Tom Zubko, president of New North Networks, estimates that two clients spent upward of $10 million to have them installed.
They have been ready to go into service since October last year, but Zubko said slow progress on a federal licence to transmit data may kill the project.
The clients — Kongsberg Satellite Services and Planet Labs Inc.— are thinking of abandoning their investment, Zubko said.
"We're a year out and they're still looking for some kind of an assurance [from the federal government] that they can get a licence and a timeline to get it. The real problem is, the clients are now looking at Alaska as a better place to do business, even though they have made this investment here," Zubko said.
Zubko said Inuvik has great potential for this kind of high-tech investment, but only if proponents can get their projects licensed in a timely matter.
New North Networks was contracted to build the basic infrastructure for the equipment, which the two satellite companies then installed. Zubko said his company also has a contract to provide care and maintenance of the new equipment.
Part of the delay in federal licensing, Zubko said, is that Global Affairs Canada became part of the licence application process thanks to the type of data the companies want to transmit. Both Kongsberg Satellite Services and Planet Labs deal with topographical and high resolution mapping, or "Earth observation," services.
The federal government confirmed that communication with a foreign satellite could extend the licensing process.
"[Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada] strives to evaluate all fixed earth station applications and respond to the applicant within seven weeks of receipt of a complete application," a department spokesperson said.
"However if coordination is required or the earth station communicates with a foreign satellite, additional processes are required and the issuance of the license may take longer."
But Zubko said regardless of the type of data being transmitted — or the satellites involved — this kind of project would have had a smoother ride in Alaska.
A growing industry for the North
Satellite installations and their maintenance are a growing industry, and Inuvik is ideally placed to be a kind of hub for satellite dish installations, Zubko said, adding that he knows of a project for 12 more dishes to be installed in the near future.
There could be a hundred such installations in Inuvik within 10 years, Zubko said, but having a project abandoned could send the wrong message about the readiness of Canada's North for that kind of investment.
"It's a problem for anyone else wanting to come in here and do business. It really puts a damper on the entire business plan for doing these kinds of installations in Inuvik, or anywhere else in Canada, for that matter," Zubko said
Planet Labs builds cube or miniature satellites that are about the size of a microwave. Thousands of satellites could be launched into space in the coming years, Zubko says, and Inuvik is ideally placed geographically to become a commercial hub for satellite antennae. (David Thurton/CBC)
"The greatest cost we're facing here is for the town of Inuvik and for the N.W.T., because Canada is becoming known as a place not to try and do this kind of business. We have a huge potential here but it's being dampened by the unresponsiveness of the federal government."
Zubko described the industry as moving away from being dominated by government-financed projects.These installations are driven by the same kind of venture capital that drives Silicon Valley and other hi-tech centres.
"There are plans to launch literally thousands of satellites in the next few years," Zubko said. "Every time you put a satellite up, you have to download the data from it.
"Inuvik is in a very good position for it."
Inuvik's proximity to the low polar orbits many of these satellites are expected to travel, as well as its substantial infrastructure and easy access by road, make it a natural place to build a satellite station. The closer a satellite dish is to the North Pole, the more frequently data can be transmitted from an a satellite in a polar orbit, making for more up-to-date data.
Inuvik is ideally located to become a hub for satellite stations, Zubko said. (PrioraNet Canada)
But an abandoned project would cast Canada in a bad light as far as international investors are concerned, Zubko said.
"It would put a big black mark on... Canada, and in particular, Inuvik [for] business in that field."
Inuvik has been trying to rebrand itself following the collapse of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline project. The growing satellite industry could be just the thing Inuvik needs, Zubko said.
"Any kind of an economy would be a good thing for Inuvik."
Having spent a good chunk of Monday talking to reporters about the proposed Rogers merger with Shaw, I thought it might be worth highlighting my initial three takeaways. First – and this is stating the obvious – the deal will result in higher prices and less competition. There is no need to overthink any of this. Removing a company that some have touted as the best chance at a viable national fourth carrier would leave some of Canada’s biggest markets (notably Ontario, Alberta, and B.C.) without a much needed competitor. Canadians already pay some of the highest prices for wireless services in the world and if this merger is approved, the situation will only get worse. Indeed, when Rogers promises that it will not raise prices for Shaw/Freedom Mobile customers for three years, it is effectively committing to raising them as soon as the clock runs out on that timeline.
Second, the fact that the companies think that this merger stands a chance of being approved should stand as Exhibit #1 for the failures of the government and the CRTC on the wireless file. Successive governments have pledged to address high wireless costs, but have instead taken half measures or even backtracked at the slightest opposition from the incumbent providers. The CRTC is little better with the current leadership quickly dispensing with the prioritization of consumers under Jean-Pierre Blais and leaving little doubt that Bell, Rogers, and Telus have a friend at the Commission.
Simply put, this deal would not have happened under a government and CRTC that signalled its commitment to more robust competition and better consumer pricing above all else. Instead, the CRTC stands ready to increase consumer costs for Internet services (it even proposed new levies on ISPs in its Harnessing Change report) and the government seems to think that meeting its illusory 25 percent wireless reduction cost target is good enough, even if prices in other countries are declining at a faster rate.
Third, get ready for talking points that will make your head spin. As Rogers and Shaw seek to convince the government and regulators that their deal should be approved, months of criticizing competition from MVNOs may suddenly be promoted as an effective competitive alternative. Further, the companies will re-up old promises to invest in rural connectivity, 5G or anything else that might garner political support. Of course, there is always a price to be paid for those promises and in this case, it will be wireless customers that foot the bill in the form of even higher costs in what is already one of the most expensive wireless markets in the world.
We’re frequently compared to European cell phone providers on price. ALL the countries in Europe added together have roughly the same land mass as Canada, BUT their population is over 746 Million! Meaning Europe has about 20 times as many people to help pay for the same number of cell phone towers, so one would expect their prices to be 20 times less! Canada, by delaying the decision on Huawei for 5G, has made the carriers choose more expensive 5G equipment from competitors because they can’t risk choosing cheaper Huawei gear only to be told to pull it out later.

David Amos Methinks I am not alone in being hard pressed to believe the words of any politician. Thats why most folks like me never bothered to vote N'esy Pas?
Lou Bell Reply to @David Amos: but you ran 6 or 7 times ! And you couldn't even put enough trust in yourself to vote for yourself ! I've voted both liberal and conservative through the years and I actually voted for Gallant 6 years ago , and then I found out he was the pahpett leader of a one issue party whose sole mandate was to do the wantings of their 30 % Francophone base and ignore the other 70 % of the people in the province . It'll most likely now be Green or conservative , and if it becomes a language issue i'll vote PA . I , like many others who I've spoken to and who in the past supported the Liberals have become " never SANB Liberal " again !

janice small Continue to lock the border down and shut it down both ways until we have some kind of control on this Covid......Hard medicine especially if your a border town, has to be done though...
Randy McNally Reply to @janice small: the free flow of goods and commerce between US and Canada has to be maintained so What are you talking about?
Randy McNally All politicians up for reelection in the spring (mayors ) want to be seen as doing everything to keep their people "safe " and their local economy healthy ( with federal money) Not hard to see why they do not want the US border open. Just another of many political covid conveniences. Government propaganda at it's best
Randy McNally I think the mayors of Woodstock and St Stephen are speaking for the chamber of commerce more than residents of their respective communities and in particular, St Stephen. Calais and St.Stephen were always a self described one community separated by a border. Somebody is way off base here.
Ben Haroldson So we will continue to be ripped off by those merchants who are taking advantage of the idiotdemic to up their prices by 50 % or more. You will pay big time more than ever when the border reopens, and it will.

David Amos I have spoken with Rick Doucett, the president of the New Brunswick Federation of Woodlot Owners personally in the past. Trust that he and his many associates over the years cannot deny that I have been trying to help the folks who own private woodlots in NB with this issue since I first ran for public office in 2004. In return I was booted from debate about it in Sussex while running against Northrup et al in 2018 while everybody laughed at me? Yea Right.
Methinks its my turn to laugh back. However I am being abused as well. Not only am I one of the folks in New Brunswick who is a stakeholder the Crown land that is competition with the private woodlots, as a consumer l must pay too much for a 2X4 and plywood etc.
Meanwhile the Commissioner of Competition has continued to ignore my concerns since the issued was raised a an SNB meeting in front of me in early 2007. he fact that I am and everybody else are forced to be involved with unfair competition with ourselves is irritating to say the least. Trust everybody in Sussex involved with wood knows the greedy corporate dudes have had control the Crown bigtime ever since the local lawyer Frank McKenna won every seat in the legislature many moons ago N'esy Pas?
David Amos Reply to @David Amos: Methinks Matty Boswell Commissioner of Competition and his Chief of Staff Mikey Hollingworth should not deny that I called them both todsy and left another voicemail promising another email N'esy Pas?
Ray Oliver Reply to @David Amos: Haha they'll get right back to ya wait by the phone. Your valuable input shall change the entire industry nesy pas?
David Amos Reply to @Ray Oliver: Methinks I should ask you RCMP buddies how will you know whether they did or not N'esy Pas?
Marc Martin What people don't know is that the big rich family harvest wood and doesn't even sell it here, it is sold to Home Depot USA and makes alot of money over it.
Randy McNally Reply to @Marc Martin: I brought this point up at a Kent store a couple of years ago. I said to the yard worker as we were picking through the pile trying to get some decent material while loading my pickup. "I don't understand why it is so hard to get a decent piece of lumber from Kent stores." He said "Irving don't sell any of their own lumber at their stores , they export all of it." - if you live in a place where you can see their trains go by just look at the number of cars loaded with lumber going to Maine every day of the week.

The Commission is in receipt of your letter, dated 5 April 2019, which responds to the process letter issued by Commission staff on 25 March 2019. In your letter you provide additional detail pertaining to your 8 March 2019 procedural request, specifically with respect to the amount of information being sought in the requests for information (RFIs) that the Competition Bureau has proposed. You also respond to various comments made by wireless service providers (WSPs) who opposed your procedural request.
Commission staff appreciates your interest in this proceeding, and recognizes that the Competition Bureau has unique expertise in the area of competition analysis.
The purpose of this letter is to provide some guidance and clarity on how the RFI process will proceed given that the Competition Bureau has made a unique procedural request that deviates somewhat from the process set out in the Notice of Consultation insofar as it makes a specific request for the Commission to issue RFIs by a specified date (16 April 2019), and to have parties respond to those RFIs within 90 days. The Competition Bureau argued that these timelines are necessary so that it has sufficient time to have an outside consultant conduct a series of economic studies in time for the second intervention phase in October.
At this early stage of the proceeding, staff’s priority is on building a fulsome record in relation to the issues outlined in the Notice of Consultation. With this goal in mind, Commission staff has issued an initial series of its own RFIs (dated 5 April 2019) to various WSPs, and upon which the Competition Bureau has been copied.
Commission staff notes that much of the information in its RFIs overlaps with information that is the subject of the Competition Bureau’s proposed questions. For example, market data such as revenues, number of subscribers, switching data, etc., is typical of the type of information that the Commission would normally seek in a proceeding such as this one. When responses to these questions are received, the Competition Bureau will have the opportunity under section 39 of the Telecommunications Act to request disclosure of any specific information that is designated as confidential in parties’ filings.
With respect to RFIs proposed by the Competition Bureau and the associated timelines, staff considers that the information being sought is highly granular and is concerned that requiring parties to respond to two sets of RFIs at this early stage of the proceeding, before interventions have been filed, would be overly burdensome on WSPs, who are preparing both their initial interventions and their responses to Commission staff’s 5 April 2019 RFIs.
In light of the above, Commission staff does not intend to issue any additional RFIs to parties at this time, either on its own behalf or on behalf of another party, at least until Commission staff’s 5 April 2019 RFIs, which are due on 5 June 2019, are filed and reviewed. At that point, Commission staff will have a better sense of the quality of the record and be able to better identify what additional information is required for the purposes of building a record upon which the Commission can conduct its deliberations and reach informed conclusions on the issues before it, while having regard for the Commission’s interest to manage its proceedings so as to ensure that they are conducted in an efficient manner.
As indicated at paragraph 62 of the Notice of Consultation, Commission staff expects to issue additional RFIs by 5 July 2019, and parties, including the Competition Bureau, have until 29 May 2019 to put forward proposed questions that will be taken into account in the formulation of such RFIs. At that time, Commission staff will also take into account the RFIs already proposed by the Competition Bureau, as there may be a need to supplement the record with some of the more detailed and granular information that the Competition Bureau is seeking in its questions.
Yours sincerely,
Philippe Kent Director, Competition and Emergency Services Policy Telecommunications Sector

Why Canada’s Arctic Matters The Conference Board of Canada, November 26, 2019 Recorded Webinar
“There is a critical imperative for Canadian, Alaskan, and Greenlandic stakeholders to work together to get out in front and lead development in the North American Arctic for the benefit of northerners and their countries. Finding the means for financing that development is crucial. Arctic360’s Infrastructure Investment Analysis will be a major contribution towards that goal.“
Hear from and speak with Arctic360’s CEO, Jessica Shadian, and its Executive Director, Madeleine Redfern, as they explain how a failure to control and invest in our own northern regions could result in non-Arctic countries owning public infrastructure and major developments in the country’s arctic regions. The world tends to look at the North through two competing lenses: as a largely untapped source of resources to be exploited; or as romanticized landscape to be left untouched and untrammeled. But neither lens genuinely considers what northerners want or need, nor how development should be pursued to the benefit of these regions. Therefore, Ottawa, Washington, Nuuk and Copenhagen need to strategically support and facilitate investments that benefit northerners and countries of the North American Arctic. Webinar Highlights
This 60 minute recorded webinar looks at some of the existing initiatives that Arctic360 is working on to address this gap. Through the webinar, Jessica and Madeleine will:
Inform and spark a dynamic discussion about why the North is so vital to Canada; Highlight the importance of finding ways to encourage the Canadian financial sector to invest in the North – something that would go a long way in contributing to Indigenous reconciliation and advancing solutions that can lead to prosperous and sustainable Northern communities; Discuss the value in having Canada reclaim a leadership role in the Arctic and advancing its position on the world stage.

Two-term Saint John councillor Donna Reardon launches bid for mayor's seat
Dietician and medical administrator says she's proud of her work representing Saint John's Ward 3
CBC News ·
Medical practice administrator, dietician, and two-term councillor Donna Reardon was one of three people officially running for mayor of Saint John as of Monday afternoon. Nominations close April 9. (Submitted by Donna Reardon)
With six weeks to go before municipal elections, just one current member of Saint John council has announced she is running for mayor.
Donna Reardon says when she heard Don Darling wasn't reoffering, she thought it might be time to take the next step.
"I have made, I think, a significant investment in Saint John in nine years."
"I've got the background. I've got the experience."
Reardon said she asked her fellow councillors for feedback and they told her to "go for it."
"So here I am," she said.
Reardon is a trained dietician by profession, and works as the administrator at her husband's medical practice.
She was first elected to council in 2012 and is about to conclude her second term as the representative for Ward 3, which includes parts of east Saint John, the central peninsula and the lower west side.
"I feel like I know the ropes. I feel like I understand the priorities," she said.
"We've made a lot of very difficult moves on the chessboard."
"From my perspective of being in the trenches, we've turned a corner — a significant one."
Reardon said she wants to "keep on that road."
The city is in a relatively good position for pandemic recovery right now, she said, because of the cost-cutting measures it has taken in recent years.
"Because we were looking at a much leaner operation, the impacts haven't been as great."
Nevertheless, she points out that a review of agencies, boards and commissions is ongoing.
They're being looked at "with a fine tooth comb," she said, to make sure they're working.
"Everything is being looked at."
Due to the pandemic, Saint John mayoral candidate Donna Reardon has been walking around the city with a campaign sign instead of knocking on doors. (Donna Reardon/Twitter)
So far, Reardon said she's been getting a good reception from people as she walks around the city.
She's carrying campaign signs, but not knocking on doors because of COVID, even though provincial election rules do permit that.
"I've met a lot of people. We've had a lot of thumbs up, a few beeps"
Reardon says her priorities for the next term are growth, prosperity, quality of life and financial stability.
"You really need to look at what brings people to your city," she said.
She's a longtime proponent of active transportation.
"No one checks your pavement index and says, I think I'll move there. They look at a more holistic city. What can you provide for the time off when they're not working? And how would they integrate that into their life and raising a family? Et cetera"
Reardon was one of the councillors who spoke in favour of a heavy truck tax last spring, to help pay for repairs to beat up roads. It was eventually defeated.
Roads represent a huge expense to the city, she said, simply because of its geographic size.
Meanwhile, road spending doesn't get the same return on investment analysis as other categories of city spending, she said.
"We do need them. But how do we get the biggest bang for our buck?"
Partnerships are key to moving the city forward, said Reardon, as well as councillors who are willing to do their homework and be strong leaders.
"You need a team that's going to read the documentation that they're given and make those tough decisions."
The past two councils have had those things, she said.
"Everything we did, we did as a team. ... That's integral to being successful."

Donna Reardon has spent the past nine years as a councillor. Now's she's after the top post. She speaks with host Julia Wright. 13:56
Reardon said she sees the mayor's role as pulling the team together, setting out expectations and finding out how council and staff can work together toward long-term goals.
Another priority of hers is regional cooperation.
"I like to think of us as a hub of a wheel and all of those spokes strengthen us."
"We need to make sure that we group them in with our success. And how do we communicate with that group and how do we build a bigger team there?"
Other key partners include: the university, the federal government, the port, and the province, she said.
"So, it's aligning with some of those visions, as well. And just going after them."
Saint John has some of the highest poverty rates in the province. Part of the city's role in addressing that includes advocating for citizens, said Reardon.
She's also interested in supporting developments, such as affordable housing projects, possibly on derelict properties.
"Can we get those and build a land bank with them and put pieces together for affordable housing or for any development? ... There's lots of things that can be done, I think."
But she's not promising anything overnight.
Two other people have also registered as candidates for mayor of Saint John. Darrell Edward Bastarache and Howard A Yeomans are scheduled to speak with CBC later this week.

Ukraine has been locked in a conflict with Russian-backed separatists since 2014. (AFP)
KYIV, UKRAINE -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday accused Moscow of building up troops on his country's border as the United States warned Russia against "intimidating" Ukraine.
Kiev has been locked in a conflict with Russian-backed separatists since 2014, and this week Ukrainian officials reported Russian troop movement in annexed Crimea and on the border, near territories controlled by Moscow-backed separatists.
On Thursday, Zelensky's ministers discussed the escalating security situation with Western allies including U.S. Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin.
"Muscle-flexing in the form of military exercises and possible provocations along the border are traditional Russian games," Zelensky said in a statement.
He accused Moscow of seeking to create "a threatening atmosphere" as Kiev hopes to resume a ceasefire brokered last year.
The U.S. State Department said it was "absolutely concerned by recent escalations of Russian aggressive and provocative actions in eastern Ukraine."
"What we would object to are aggressive actions that have an intent of intimidating, of threatening, our partner Ukraine," State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.
Some observers say the reported Russian troop buildup is a test for the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden, who caused an uproar in Moscow last month by calling his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a "killer".
This week, Moscow and Kyiv blamed each other for a rise in violence between government forces and Kremlin-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, which has undermined the ceasefire.
Zelensky said 20 Ukrainian servicemen had been killed and 57 wounded since the start of the year.
Separately, the military announced that a Ukrainian soldier was wounded in an attack it blamed on separatists.
'READY FOR AN OFFENSIVE'
On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of Defence Austin called his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Taran, Ukraine's defence ministry said.
Austin said during the call that Washington would "not leave Ukraine alone in the event of escalating Russian aggression", the ministry said.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba for his part discussed the "aggravation by the Russian Federation of the security situation" on the frontline with his Canadian counterpart Marc Garneau.
Ukraine's military intelligence accused Russia of preparing to "expand its military presence" in the separatist-controlled eastern regions of Donetsk and Lugansk.
In a statement, the intelligence service said it "does not rule out" an attempt by Russian forces to move "deep into Ukrainian territory".
A high-ranking Ukrainian government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed that the Russian army was practising "military co-ordination" with separatists.
"From mid-April their combat units will be ready for an offensive," the official told AFP.
WEST SHOULD NOT 'WORRY'
Moscow has repeatedly denied sending troops and arms to buttress the separatists and Putin's spokesman stressed on Thursday that Moscow is at liberty to move troops across its territory.
"The Russian Federation moves its armed forces within its territory at its discretion," spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, but he did not directly confirm a troop buildup on the Ukrainian border.
He added that "it should not worry anyone and does not pose a threat to anyone".
The war in eastern Ukraine broke out in 2014 when Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula following a bloody uprising that ousted Ukraine's Kremlin-friendly president Viktor Yanukovych.
On Wednesday, the Pentagon said U.S. forces in Europe had raised their alert status following the "recent escalations of Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine".
Mark Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, also spoke with his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts, Valery Gerasimov and Ruslan Khomchak.
Khomchak said this week that 28,000 separatist fighters and "more than 2,000 Russian military instructors and advisers" are currently stationed in eastern Ukraine.
On Thursday, the deputy head of Zelensky's office, Roman Mashovets, called for joint drills with NATO forces to "help stabilise the security situation".
Zelensky was elected in 2019 promising to end the years-long conflict, but critics say a shaky ceasefire was his only tangible achievement.
The fighting has claimed more than 13,000 lives since 2014, according to the United Nations.

Russia warns NATO against deploying troops to Ukraine
Moscow will act to ‘ensure its security’ if the alliance intervenes in the conflict, which has seen fresh fighting.
2 Apr 2021
Renewed front-line clashes between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatist forces have gripped eastern Ukraine in recent weeks [File: Gleb Garanich/Reuters]
Russia has warned NATO against deploying troops to Ukraine, saying such a move would escalate tensions nears its borders, amid renewed fears over the region’s long-simmering conflict.
Moscow’s comments came after NATO voiced concern on Thursday over what it said was a large Russian military build-up near eastern Ukraine, with leading member the United States pledging to stand by Ukraine in the event of any Russian “aggression”.
Renewed front-line clashes have gripped the region in recent weeks.
Russia earlier said an escalation in the conflict in Ukraine’s Donbass region could “destroy” Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday that the situation at the contact line in eastern Ukraine between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatist forces was concerning, and that multiple “provocations” were taking place there.
Peskov also said Russia would be forced to respond if NATO troops were deployed to Ukraine as he insisted Russia was not threatening Ukraine.
“There is no doubt such a scenario would lead to a further increase in tensions close to Russia’s borders. Of course, this would call for additional measures from the Russian side to ensure its security,” he said, without specifying which measures would be adopted.
“Russia is not threatening anyone, it has never threatened anyone.”
Ukraine has been battling pro-Russian separatists in the eastern Donetsk and Lugansk regions since 2014, following Moscow’s annexation of the Crimean peninsula after an uprising that toppled Ukraine’s Kremlin-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych.
Moscow and Kyiv this week blamed each other for a rise in violence that has undermined a ceasefire brokered last year.
Peskov’s comments came after the US warned Russia against “intimidating” Ukraine, with both Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling their Ukrainian counterparts to stress support.
The Pentagon said earlier this week that US forces in Europe had raised their alert status following the “recent escalations of Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine”.
Moscow, Kyiv trade barbs
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday accused Russia of massing troops on the border and said 20 Ukrainian servicemen had been killed since the start of the year.
Ukraine’s military intelligence accused Russia of preparing to “expand its military presence” in the separatist-controlled regions.
Moscow has repeatedly denied sending troops and arms to support the separatists. The Kremlin has said that Russia is at liberty to move troops on its own territory.
“Russia is not a participant of the conflict,” Peskov said on Friday, accusing Ukraine’s armed forces of “multiple” provocations in the region.
A senior Russian official also dismissed reports of a plan to attack Ukraine as “fake”.
“Russia is not interested in any conflict with Ukraine, especially a military one,” deputy foreign minister Andrei Rudenko told state news agency RIA Novosti.
To date, the fighting in the region has killed more than 13,000 people, according to the United Nations.

Illuminati Agenda 21: The Luciferian Plan To Destroy Creation
Posted on July 19, 2013 by Sagacious News Network (Dean Henderson)
The Rothschild family combined with the Dutch House of Orange to found Bank of Amsterdam in the early 1600’s as the world’s first private central bank. Prince William of Orange married into the English House of Windsor, taking King James II’s daughter Mary as his bride. The Orange Order Brotherhood, which more recently fomented Northern Ireland Protestant violence, put William III on the English throne where he ruled both Holland and Britain. In 1694 William III teamed up with the Rothschilds to launch the Bank of England.
The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street- as the Bank of England is known- is surrounded by thirty foot walls. Three floors beneath it the third largest stock of gold bullion in the world is stored. The biggest hoard lies beneath the Rothschild-controlled Federal Reserve Bank of New York. According to the excellent movie The Money Masters, much of this gold was confiscated from now-empty vaults at Fort Knox as collateral on US debt obligations to the Eight Families Federal Reserve crowd.
This financial mafia further consolidated its control over the world’s gold stock when 200 million ounces of the stuff belonging to the Bank of Nova Scotia was recovered from beneath the carnage of the World Trade Center. One day after its November 1, 2001 recovery, New York Mayor Rudy Guliani laid off hundreds of rescue workers at Ground Zero. A short time later he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth and named Time magazine’s “Man of the Year”.
The daily London gold “fixing” occurs at the N. M. Rothschild Bank in the City of London. Here, five of the Eight Families-linked banks unilaterally decide what the price of gold will be each morning. Kleinwort Benson’s Sharps Pixley subsidiary is one of five firms. Another is Mocatta Metals. It is majority-owned by Standard Chartered- the Cecil Rhodes-founded bank whose Dubai branch wired Mohammed Atta the funds he needed to carry out the 911 operation.
According to British MP Michael Meacher in an article for The Guardian, Omar Saeed Sheikh- the man who beheaded US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002- was a British MI-6 agent. He says it was Sheikh who- at the behest of Pakistani ISI General Mahmood Ahmed- wired the $100,000 to Mohammed Atta from Standard Chartered’s Dubai branch before 911. Meacher’s claim has been corroborated by Dennis Lomel- director of FBI’s financial crimes unit- and by an October 11, 2001 article in The Times of India. Mocatta Metals is also a favorite conduit for Israeli Mossad financing.
Midland Bank subsidiary Samuel Montagu is a third London gold “fixer”. In 1999 Midland, headquartered in cocaine-money infested Panama, was bought by the British oligarchy-controlled HSBC- the old Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Corporation opium laundry and now the world’s second largest bank. Midland is partially owned by the Kuwaiti al-Sabah monarchy. The other two gold fixers are Johnson Matthey and N. M. Rothschild, both of which have interlocking boards with Anglo-American and HSBC.
Anglo-American is the world’s third largest mining company. It is controlled by the Rothschilds and South Africa’s Oppenheimer family. It owns both Engelhardt- which enjoys a near monopoly in global gold refining- and the DeBeers diamond monopoly. The current De Beers chairman is Nicky Oppenheimer. De Beers was indicted in 1994 for price-fixing by the US Justice Department. To this day company officials do not set foot on US soil for fear they may be nabbed by US authorities.
The Rothschilds also control BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, the two biggest global miners, as well as Royal Dutch/Shell, BP and Bank of America. As Bank of England Deputy Governor George Blunden put it, “Fear is what makes the bank’s powers so acceptable. The bank is able to exert its influence when people are dependent on us and fear losing their privileges or when they are frightened.”
Mayer Amschel Rothschild sold the British government German Hessian mercenaries to fight against American Revolutionaries, diverting the proceeds to his brother Nathan in London, where N.M. (Nathan and Mayer) Rothschild & Sons was established. Mayer was a serious student of Cabala and launched his fortune on money embezzled from William IX- royal administrator of the Hesse-Kassel region and a prominent Freemason.
Rothschild-controlled Barings bankrolled the Chinese opium and African slave trades. It financed the Louisiana Purchase. When several states defaulted on its loans, Barings bribed Daniel Webster to make speeches stressing the virtues of loan repayment. The states held their ground, so the House of Rothschild cut off the money spigot in 1842, plunging the US into a deep depression. It was often said that the wealth of the Rothschilds depended on the bankruptcy of nations. Mayer Amschel Rothschild once said, “I care not who controls a nation’s political affairs, so long as I control her currency”.
War also enhanced the family fortune. The House of Rothschild financed the Prussian War, the Crimean War and the British attempt to seize the Suez Canal from the French. Nathan Rothschild made a huge financial bet on Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, while also funding the Duke of Wellington’s peninsular campaign against Napoleon. Both the Mexican War and the Civil War were goldmines for the family.
A Rothschild family biography mentions a London meeting where an “international banking syndicate” decided to pit the American North against the South as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy. German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck once stated, “The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War. These bankers were afraid that the United States…would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed.”
Rothschild biographer Derek Wilson says the family was the official European banker to the US government via the Federal Reserve-precursor Bank of the United States. Family biographer Niall Ferguson notes a “substantial and unexplained gap” in Rothschild correspondence from 1854-1860. He says all copies of outgoing letters written by the London Rothschilds during this Civil War period “were destroyed at the orders of successive partners”.
French and British troops had, at the height of the Civil War, encircled the US. The British sent 11,000 troops to Crown-controlled Canada, which gave safe harbor to Confederate agents. France’s Napoleon III installed Austrian Hapsburg family member Archduke Maximilian as his puppet emperor in Mexico, where French troops massed on the Texas border. Only an 11th-hour deployment of two Russian warship fleets by US ally Czar Alexander II in 1863 saved the United States from re-colonization. That same year the Chicago Tribune blasted, “Belmont (August Belmont was a US Rothschild agent and had a Triple Crown horse race named in his honor) and the Rothschilds…who have been buying up Confederate war bonds.”
President Abraham Lincoln- now aware of the Eight Families-controlled Bank of the United States plot- countered by issuing Greenbacks from the US Treasury. The London bankers were fuming. Salmon Rothschild stated derisively of President Lincoln, “He rejects all forms of compromise. He has the appearance of a peasant and can only tell barroom stories.”
Lincoln was soon assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, who was whisked away from Ford Theatre by members of a secret society known as Knights of the Golden Circle. Booth’s granddaughter later wrote This One Mad Act, in which she details Booth’s contacts with “mysterious Europeans” just before the Lincoln assassination.
Baron Jacob Rothschild was equally flattering towards the US citizenry. He once commented to US Minister to Belgium Henry Sanford on the over half a million Americans who died during the Civil War, “When your patient is desperately sick, you try desperate measures, even to bloodletting.”
Salmon and Jacob were merely carrying forth a family tradition. A few generations earlier Mayer Amschel Rothschild bragged of his investment strategy, “When the streets of Paris are running in blood, I buy”.
Mayer Rothschild’s sons were known as the Frankfurt Five. Amschel ran the family’s Frankfurt bank with his father, while Nathan ran London operations. Youngest son Jacob set up shop in Paris, while Salomon ran the Vienna branch and Karl the branch in Naples. Author Frederick Morton estimates that by 1850 the Rothschilds were worth over $10 billion. The old axiom “money begets more money” certainly holds true. Researchers believe that the Rothschild fortune today exceeds $100 trillion.
The Warburgs, Kuhn Loebs, Goldman Sachs, Schiffs and Rothschilds have intermarried into one big happy banking family. The Warburg family- which controls Deutsche Bank and Banque Paribas- tied up with the Rothschilds in 1814 in Hamburg, while Kuhn Loeb powerhouse Jacob Schiff shared quarters with Rothschilds in 1785. Schiff immigrated to America in 1865. He joined forces with Abraham Kuhn and married Solomon Loeb’s daughter. Loeb and Kuhn married each others sisters and the Kuhn Loeb dynasty was consummated. Felix Warburg married Jacob Schiff’s daughter. Two Goldman daughters married two sons of the Sachs family, creating Goldman Sachs. In 1806 Nathan Rothschild married the oldest daughter of Levi Barent Cohen, a leading financier in London. The Cohen family was now part of the club.
Today the Rothschild’s control a far-flung financial empire, which includes majority stakes in nearly all the world’s central banks. The Edmond de Rothschild clan owns the Banque Privee SA in Lugano, Switzerland and the Rothschild Bank AG of Zurich. The family of Jacob Lord Rothschild owns the powerful Rothschild Italia in Milan. They are members of the exclusive Club of the Isles, which provides capital for George Soros’ Quantum Fund NV. Quantum made a killing in 1998-1999 destroying the currencies of Thailand, Indonesia and Russia. Soros was a major shareholder in George W. Bush’s Harken Energy.
Quantum NV handles $11-14 billion in assets and operates from the Dutch island of Curacao, in the shadow of massive Royal Dutch/Shell and Exxon Mobil refineries. Curacao was recently cited by an OECD Task Force on Money Laundering as a major drug money laundering nation. The Club of Isles group which funds Quantum is led by the Rothschilds and includes Queen Elizabeth II and other wealthy European aristocrats and Black Nobility. Fugitive Swiss financier and Mossad cutout Marc Rich, whose business interests were recently taken over by the Russian mafia Alfa Group, is also part of the Soros network. Rich was pardoned by President Clinton as he exited the White House.
Ties to drug money are nothing new to the Rothschilds. N. M. Rothschild & Sons was at the epicenter of the BCCI scandal, but escaped the limelight when a warehouse full of documents conveniently burned to the ground around the time the Rothschild-controlled Bank of England shut BCCI down. The Rothschild’s Bank of America provided the seed money to launch BCCI.
Perhaps the largest repository for Rothschild wealth today is Rothschilds Continuation Holdings AG- a secretive Swiss bank holding company. By the late 1990s scions of the Rothschild global empire were Barons Guy and Elie de Rothschild in France and Lord Jacob and Sir Evelyn Rothschild in Britain. Evelyn is chairman of the Economist.
If we wish we make the world a better place and to usher in a new consciousness; we must study, discuss and expose the source of global warfare, depopulation schemes, oil-addiction, drug addiction, poverty and environmental degradation. The head of the serpent is the House of Rothschild.

Dear Mr. Amos: Your telephone call, earlier this week took me a bit by surprise. I was never able to identify the purpose of the call and then had visitors at the door, which caused an early conclusion of the call.
You mentioned an article by Dean Henderson on my Website, and spoke of RBS' monetary issues before delving into your many legal battles and conflicts with the St. John and New Brunswick elected officials. If the purpose of your call was to discuss the content of Henderson's article, I think you can rest assured that the "Lord," (Rothschild) has everything under control. Not one farthing will be stolen without his blessing. This of coursed includes keeping George Soros on a tight allowance with monthly reports.
As to more current activities, Justin Pierre James Trudeau's "Government Facilities," would seem like a more serious direct threat. Accuse someone of having Wuhan Virus, and they get locked away in a re-education confinement camp. Perhaps Justin could get the Catholic Church to run the program like they did with the orphans during WWII. Jim

By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."
What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’"
Prosecutors say Joyce’s lawyer lied, should be pulled from trial
By Neal Simpson The Patriot Ledger Posted Jan 18, 2018 at 12:59 PM
BOSTON - Federal prosecutors have accused an attorney for former state Sen. Brian Joyce of lying to state ethics officials and are asking a judge to have him pulled from Joyce’s defense team if the former legislator’s corruption case goes to trial.
In a motion filed earlier this month, prosecutors said lawyer Howard Cooper had made “several material and false representations” to the state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce, a Milton Democrat who is accused of using the influence of his office to collect a series of bribes, kickbacks and gifts, including hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a Jeep.
Prosecutors say Cooper helped Joyce cover up at least two of his schemes and could provide important testimony at trial.
Cooper, a founding partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, was not identified by name in the 113-count indictment against Joyce, but prosecutors said in their motion filed earlier this month that he was the unnamed attorney described in the indictment as sending misleading emails and letters to the Ethics Commission on Joyce’s behalf. Cooper did not respond to request for comment Wednesday.
In one of those letters, sent in October 2016, prosecutors say Cooper falsely told the Ethics Commission that Joyce had directed his retirement account to purchase common stock in an energy-insurance holding company doing business in Massachusetts.
In fact, prosecutors say, the retirement account was a sham created to evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment in the company, which stood to benefit from alternative-energy legislation that Joyce was championing on Beacon Hill.
Prosecutors say Cooper also sent two misleading emails to the Ethics Commission about Joyce’s relationship with a Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee who made payments to Joyce and sent him free coffee at the same time that the senator was pushing legislation that would help the franchisee’s business.
Prosecutors said Joyce received hundreds of pounds of free coffee from the franchisee – giving much of it away to constituents or fellow state senators – but later tried to claim he paid for the coffee deliveries or had received them in exchange for legal services provided by his law firm.
In 2015, prosecutors say Cooper emailed the Ethics Commission and told them Joyce had purchased the coffee he gave out to fellow senators the previous Christmas. In reality, prosecutors say Joyce only paid for the coffee only after The Boston Globe reported on the Christmas gifts a month later.
Then in 2016, prosecutors say Cooper told the commission in an email that an earlier delivery of coffee in 2013 had been made in exchange for Joyce’s legal work on related to a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise. But prosecutors say Joyce only invented that arrangement in 2015, two years after the coffee had already been delivered.
Joyce was released last month on $250,000 bond secured by property he owns in Canton. He is due back in court Feb. 23.

Accountant charged with helping ex-Sen. Brian Joyce defraud IRS Image: Former Massachusetts State Sen. Brian Joyce is surrounded by reporters as he leaves the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Worcester, Mass By Erin Tiernan The Patriot Ledger Posted Jan 29, 2018 at 2:50 PM
Federal prosecutors say John H. Nardozzi helped the former Milton Democrat avoid paying almost $800,000 in taxes over a four-year period.
WORCESTER — A longtime accountant for former state Sen. Brian Joyce has been charged with helping the embattled Milton Democrat prepare and file false income tax returns, federal officials said.
John. H. Nardozzi of Waltham is accused of aiding Joyce and his family in defrauding the government out of almost $800,000 in taxes over a four-year period, according to an indictment unsealed on Monday.
Joyce was charged in a separate federal indictment in December that alleges he laundered more than $1 million in kickbacks and bribes through his law practice and another private business.
Nardozzi will appear in federal court in Worcester on Monday afternoon, charged with one count of conspiring to defraud the IRS and eight counts of aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax returns, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Prosecutors allege Nardozzi conspired with Joyce to defraud the IRS by deducting millions of dollars in personal expenses as legitimate business expenses, inflating self-employment income for Joyce and his wife by more than $2 million in order to maximize retirement plan contributions, falsifying withdrawals from a retirement account and falsifying dividends on Joyce’s personal tax returns.
In total, Nardozzi is accused of misclassifying $2,268,520 to reduce Joyce’s tax burden, according to prosecutors. Joyce’s law firm should have paid out $850,748 in taxes during that period, of which Joyce paid just $56,766.
“For tax years 2011 through and including 2014, defendant Nardozzi and Joyce knowingly and willfully caused [Brian Joyce’s law firm] to avoid paying approximately $793,982 in federal corporate income taxes,” the indictment states.
Joyce, who moved to Westport with his family last year following an FBI-raid on his law office, faces more than 100 charges ranging from racketeering and extortion to money laundering and could place Joyce behind bars for up to 20 years.
Then-Acting U.S. Attorney William Weinreb hinted in December at a press conference announcing Joyce’s indictment that more arrests were likely as the investigation into Joyce’s alleged corruption continued.
“He used his office as a criminal enterprise to make deals with his business cronies and in exchange he took bribes, kickbacks ... and took steps to conceal his corrupt acts,” Weinreb said at the time
Nardozzi’s indictment indicates that prosecutors believe the certified public accountant played a part in that cover up.
Joyce and his wife bought $471,250 in common stock from a Delaware energy insurance broker in 2014, $395,125 of which they paid for though a series of early withdrawals from their retirement accounts. In the Joyce indictment, prosecutors said the retirement account was a sham created to evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment in the company, which stood to benefit from alternative-energy legislation that Joyce pushing on Beacon Hill.
Prosecutors allege Nardozzi, an accountant of 37 years, falsely reported it as a tax-exempt retirement account rollover with the intent to help the Joyce’s avoid paying taxes to the IRS.
“By reporting the early withdrawal of funds from the Joyce’s retirement accounts as a tax-exempt rollover on Joyce’s 2014 personal tax return... defendant Nardozzi and Joyce caused Joyce and Joyce’s spouse to avoid paying approximately $208,100 in additional income taxes and early withdrawal penalties,” the indictment states.
Nardozzi was not named in the original 113-count indictment against Joyce. Joyce pleaded not guilty to the charges on Dec. 8 and is currently free on a $250,000 bond.
Prosecutors have also fingered Joyce’s laweyr, Howard Cooper as taking a role in Joyce’s corruption coverup. A motion filed earlier this month asked a federal judge to remove Cooper from Joyce’s defense team, accusing him of making “several material and false representations” to the state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce. Cooper has not been indicted, but prosecutors said Cooper helped Joyce cover up at least two of his schemes, including the stock purchase, and could provide important testimony at trial.

Prosecutors in Joyce case earn rebuke from legal community
By Neal Simpson The Patriot Ledger Posted Apr 4, 2018 at 4:47 PM
BOSTON — Federal prosecutors seeking to disqualify an attorney for former state Sen. Brian Joyce from his upcoming corruption trial have earned a rebuke from dozens of lawyers and several legal organizations who accuse them of trying to to broaden their ability to have defendants’ lawyers removed.
Prosecutors had argued that attorney Howard M. Cooper, founding partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, should be stripped from Joyce’s defense team at trial because Cooper has unwittingly helped Joyce cover up some of his corrupt activities by submitting false statements to the state Ethics Commission, making Cooper a potential witness to Joyce’s crimes. But in an amicus brief submitted earlier this week, a collection of lawyers and legal organizations argue that such thinking would erode defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to their chosen counsel and interfere with attorneys’ ability to represent their clients while criminal charges are pending.
“Granting the present motion would threaten ethical and effective advocacy by counsel in numerous other cases,” the brief reads. “It would encourage the government to seek to disqualify counsel more frequently in any of the array of circumstances in which defense counsel may advocate on a client’s behalf and might present what the government may later claim to be inaccurate information.”
The battle over the future of Joyce’s legal representation comes as the former Milton Democrat faces a 113-count indictment accusing him of turning his Beacon Hill office into a money-making venture where he traded legislation and political influence for more than $1 million in kickbacks, hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a 2014 Jeep. He was arrested on the charges this past December and released on $250,000 bond.
A little more than a month after Joyce’s arrest, federal prosecutors indicated that they would seek to disqualify Cooper from representing Joyce at trial and could call him to testify about several statements he made to the ethics commission on Joyce’s behalf. Some of those statements had addressed the commission’s questions about whether the senator had received free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in exchange for pushing favorable legislation, whether he’d filed legislation without disclosing that it would benefit a client, and whether he’d appeared before a state commission while concealing his financial investment in the company.
Prosecutors have not suggested that Cooper was aware that the statements were false, but said that Joyce had nonetheless “entangled Attorney Cooper in the cover-up.” In a motion filed in late February, prosecutors argued that Joyce had used Cooper’s statements to further his crimes, making communications between the two exempt from attorney-client privilege.
In response, Joyce accused prosecutors of trying to disqualify his attorney by making him into a witness even through they hadn’t shown any need for Cooper’s testimony. Joyce said he would even stipulate that he himself had prepared and reviewed the statements that prosecutors say were false.
Joyce, who is a lawyer, also argued Cooper had only submitted the statements to defend Joyce against allegations of wrongdoing and had not been involved in setting up the corrupt deals Joyce is accused of making. Joyce hired Cooper and his firm, Todd & Weld, in March 2015 after Boston Globe reporters began asking Joyce’s office questions.
Joyce said disqualifying Cooper would violated his Sixth Amendment right to choose his legal counsel and force him to find a new attorney following the loss of his job, the end of his practice and “the exhaustion of his resources.”
“Now the government takes aim at the one attorney who has represented him throughout, in whom he reposes the greatest trust and confidence, and ask the Court to require him to start over with new counsel he does not want and cannot afford,” attorneys for Joyce and Cooper said in a motion filed on their behalf. “This would be a cruel, unfair and clearly unconstitutional blow.”
The Boston legal community apparently agrees. In a motion filed Monday, a group including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and 71 individual attorneys argued that the prosecutors’ request had “far-reaching and troubling Sixth Amendment implications,” potentially opening the door for prosecutors to have defense attorneys removed from a case by claiming that they had previously presented inaccurate information on their client’s behalf. The Boston Bar Association is seeking to file a separate amicus brief.
“We believe the government’s motion threatens the constitutionally protected right of a lawyer to present a client’s defense to courts and to government agencies,” Jon Albano, president-elect of the Boston Bar Association, said in a statement. “A lawyer should not be disqualified for presenting a client’s side of a case when there is no evidence that the lawyer knew the client was not telling the truth.”

Judgment delivered at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 30, 2017. REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY:

Docket: A-48-16 Citation: 2017 FCA 213 CORAM:
WEBB J.A. NEAR J.A. GLEASON J.A.
BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
I. Introduction
[1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos) filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan (Claim at para. 96).
[2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the Prothontary’s Order).
[3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr. Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
[4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016. As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s cross-appeal.
II. Preliminary Matter
[5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with several judges but did not name those judges.
[6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. F-7:
5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal. […]
5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale. […] 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour fédérale.
[7] However, these subsections only provide that the judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this section. [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that: 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale.
[9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that appeal book.
[10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a conflict in any matter related to him.
[11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
[12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that such judge had a conflict.
[13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr. Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he was a member of such firm.
[14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb, focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
[15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias: 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the reasonable apprehension of bias: … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
[17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. (4th) 193).
[18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with his former firm for a considerable period of time.
32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving events from over a decade ago. (emphasis added)
[19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice Webb hearing this appeal.
[20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
[21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
[22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
[23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him to recuse himself.
[24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
[25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
III. Issue
[26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
IV. Analysis
A. Standard of Review
[27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
[28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to interfere.
B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the Prothonotary’s Order?
[29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court. (…)
21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance. A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he suspects he is barred from the House of Commons. [footnotes omitted].
[30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at para. 27).
[31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada, 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
[13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly. Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28 (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
[32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in public office because the actors, who barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
[33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321 D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
…When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”. “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse of process…
To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.” (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
[34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
[35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons, these allegations are not particularized and are directed against non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such, the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action.
[36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend. The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
V. Conclusion [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment, dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety without leave to amend.

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday at age 84 after a two-year bout with pancreatic cancer.
Democrats now hold a narrower margin in the House, with a 218-211 split, while six vacant seats remain.

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday after a more than two-year bout with pancreatic cancer, NBC News confirmed.
Hastings, who served in the House for nearly three decades, was 84. Throughout his career, he held several key committee assignments and leadership positions, most recently as vice chairman of the rules committee. He had also been Florida’s first Black federal trial judge, appointed to the bench in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter.
“As an attorney, civil rights activist and judge, and over his nearly thirty years in Congress, he fought tirelessly to create opportunities to lift up working families, communities of color, children and immigrants,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a statement.
President Joe Biden reacted to Hastings’ death on Tuesday afternoon. “Across his long career of public service, Alcee always stood up to fight for equality, and always showed up for the working people he represented,” he said in a statement. “Jill and I are saddened to learn of his passing.”
Democrats now hold a narrower advantage in the House, 218-211, giving the party a smaller margin of error in passing legislation. Six seats are vacant, four of which were previously held by Democrats and two by Republicans.
Three of the four Democratic House seats were vacated by appointments to positions in President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. Deb Haaland, of New Mexico, was appointed secretary of the Department of Interior; Marcia Fudge, of Ohio, was named head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Cedric Richmond, of Louisiana, became senior advisor to the president and director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.
One of the two vacant GOP seats is no longer up for contest. Julia Letlow of Louisiana was elected in late March but has yet to be sworn in. Julia will replace her late husband, Luke Letlow, who was elected to the seat but died before being sworn in due to Covid-19 complications.
In 1983, when Hastings was a federal judge, he was acquitted in criminal court on a charge of conspiring to solicit a bribe in exchange for leniency in a sentencing. Alcee Hastings testifying at his impeachment trial in 1989. Michael Jenkins | CQ-Roll Call, Inc. | Getty Images
Nevertheless, the House impeached Hastings in 1988 amid accusations that he perjured himself during that criminal trial. The Senate voted to convict him, removing him from the bench, but did not vote to disqualify him from holding future office.
Hastings appealed the impeachment conviction in 1992. A federal judge overturned the conviction, on the grounds that a 12-member Senate committee, rather than the full Senate, conducted the impeachment trial. This was the first time a Senate conviction was overturned by a federal judge.
The next year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled federal courts do not have the authority to review the procedures of a Senate impeachment trial. Hastings’ legislative career, which began with his election in 1992 and continued until his death, was unaffected by the decision.

Committee Assignments
Armed Services
Judiciary
Matt Gaetz, a member of the 116th Congress, is currently serving his second term. He is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the Judiciary Committee. His work in Congress focuses on national security, tax reform, regulatory reform, and adherence to constitutional principles. Matt is devoted to the values upon which our country was founded, earning the nickname of “constitutional conservative champion.” Matt is an active member on the Climate Solutions, Reformers, Animal Protection, and Robotics Caucuses.
Prior to serving in Congress, Matt worked as an attorney in Northwest Florida with the Keefe, Anchors & Gordon law firm, where he advocated for a more open and transparent government. In 2010, Matt was elected to serve in the Florida House of Representatives to represent portions of Okaloosa and Santa Rosa county. He was chairman of the Finance and Tax Committee, where he authored and passed $1 billion in tax cuts, all while balancing the state budget and repealing or replacing over 4,000 regulations. Matt also served as chairman of the Criminal Justice Subcommittee, where he authored and passed some of America’s toughest penalties against violent sexual predators.
From Florida to D.C., Matt has lived up to his reputation as an outspoken conservative firebrand. Matt has been a prominent voice for uncovering corruption within the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Matt is passionate about making sure government is accountable, transparent, honest.
Matt is proud to be a part of the historic passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which provided tax relief for workers, families, job creators, and helped revitalize our nation’s economy.
Matt’s first bill that successfully passed through the House was H.R. 2370, the Escambia County Land Conveyance Act, giving leaseholders in Santa Rosa Island the option to acquire fee simple titles to their property. The bill also stipulates that the non-federal areas dedicated for conservation, preservation, public access, and parking will all be preserved permanently.
Since Northwest Florida is home to strategic military installations such as Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, and Pensacola NAS, Matt has made it a priority to ensure the military has extraordinary capabilities to protect America. During the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Matt secured numerous provisions, including an amendment for SPACE-A travel benefits for veterans with service-related disabilities, and a $41.9 million increase in funding to military test ranges, including the Gulf Test Range.
Matt graduated from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary sciences. After finishing his undergraduate studies, Matt moved to Williamsburg, Virginia, to attend William & Mary Law School, where he received his Juris Doctorate.
Matt was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and is the son of Don and Vickey Gaetz. Matt is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, which has given him an A+ rating throughout his time in the legislature, and First Baptist Church in Fort Walton Beach. When Matt is not fighting for his constituents, he enjoys spending time with his family and his dog Scarlett.
A native of Fort Walton Beach, Ben Gordon is a founding partner in AnchorsGordon.
With over 20 years of experience focused on legal issues impacting businesses and individuals, Ben works to avoid liability triggers as general counsel as well as to resolve disputes through litigation. Ben counsels new and existing businesses on creating a strong foundation for a successful enterprise, including with respect to operating agreements, contracts, and employment issues. In particular, Ben frequently advises clients and litigates issues related to trade secrets, non-compete, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure agreements. Ben’s litigation practice primarily focuses on real estate litigation, commercial litigation, corporate and partnership litigation, and condominium/homeowner’s association litigation. Ben works closely with real estate developers, commercial property owners, bars and restaurants, retail businesses, and the hospitality industry, as well as local Northwest Florida manufacturers, technology companies, and government contractors.
Ben’s practice is strongly influenced by his legal experiences within and beyond Northwest Florida. After graduating from law school, Ben served as a law clerk for the Honorable C. Roger Vinson, Chief Judge for the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in Pensacola. Ben entered private practice as an attorney with King & Spalding LLP in Washington, D.C., where he focused on complex business litigation in state and federal courts throughout the country. While Ben continues to spend significant time in D.C., his home is Northwest Florida where he serves local businesses and clients, with his unique understanding of how the local dynamics of this community interrelate with the legal and business realities outside the region.
Ben and his family have a long history of service to our area, serving as teachers, volunteers, and active leaders in our legal and business communities. Ben’s father, the late Honorable Ben Gordon, Jr., served Northwest Florida as a County Judge and Circuit Judge for more than twenty years. Ben continues to serve his community in many roles, including having been appointed by Florida’s governor to serve on the Judicial Nomination Commission for the First Judicial Circuit and serving as the chairman of the First Judicial Circuit’s Grievance Committee B.
Ben and his wife Amanda have two children, with whom they love to travel as often as possible and with whom they are regularly boating when home in our emerald waters.

Dear Mr. Amos: Your telephone call, earlier this week took me a bit by surprise. I was never able to identify the purpose of the call and then had visitors at the door, which caused an early conclusion of the call.
You mentioned an article by Dean Henderson on my Website, and spoke of RBS' monetary issues before delving into your many legal battles and conflicts with the St. John and New Brunswick elected officials. If the purpose of your call was to discuss the content of Henderson's article, I think you can rest assured that the "Lord," (Rothschild) has everything under control. Not one farthing will be stolen without his blessing. This of coursed includes keeping George Soros on a tight allowance with monthly reports.
As to more current activities, Justin Pierre James Trudeau's "Government Facilities," would seem like a more serious direct threat. Accuse someone of having Wuhan Virus, and they get locked away in a re-education confinement camp. Perhaps Justin could get the Catholic Church to run the program like they did with the orphans during WWII. Jim

By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions—motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."
What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’"
Prosecutors say Joyce’s lawyer lied, should be pulled from trial
By Neal Simpson The Patriot Ledger Posted Jan 18, 2018 at 12:59 PM
BOSTON - Federal prosecutors have accused an attorney for former state Sen. Brian Joyce of lying to state ethics officials and are asking a judge to have him pulled from Joyce’s defense team if the former legislator’s corruption case goes to trial.
In a motion filed earlier this month, prosecutors said lawyer Howard Cooper had made “several material and false representations” to the state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce, a Milton Democrat who is accused of using the influence of his office to collect a series of bribes, kickbacks and gifts, including hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a Jeep.
Prosecutors say Cooper helped Joyce cover up at least two of his schemes and could provide important testimony at trial.
Cooper, a founding partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, was not identified by name in the 113-count indictment against Joyce, but prosecutors said in their motion filed earlier this month that he was the unnamed attorney described in the indictment as sending misleading emails and letters to the Ethics Commission on Joyce’s behalf. Cooper did not respond to request for comment Wednesday.
In one of those letters, sent in October 2016, prosecutors say Cooper falsely told the Ethics Commission that Joyce had directed his retirement account to purchase common stock in an energy-insurance holding company doing business in Massachusetts.
In fact, prosecutors say, the retirement account was a sham created to evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment in the company, which stood to benefit from alternative-energy legislation that Joyce was championing on Beacon Hill.
Prosecutors say Cooper also sent two misleading emails to the Ethics Commission about Joyce’s relationship with a Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee who made payments to Joyce and sent him free coffee at the same time that the senator was pushing legislation that would help the franchisee’s business.
Prosecutors said Joyce received hundreds of pounds of free coffee from the franchisee – giving much of it away to constituents or fellow state senators – but later tried to claim he paid for the coffee deliveries or had received them in exchange for legal services provided by his law firm.
In 2015, prosecutors say Cooper emailed the Ethics Commission and told them Joyce had purchased the coffee he gave out to fellow senators the previous Christmas. In reality, prosecutors say Joyce only paid for the coffee only after The Boston Globe reported on the Christmas gifts a month later.
Then in 2016, prosecutors say Cooper told the commission in an email that an earlier delivery of coffee in 2013 had been made in exchange for Joyce’s legal work on related to a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise. But prosecutors say Joyce only invented that arrangement in 2015, two years after the coffee had already been delivered.
Joyce was released last month on $250,000 bond secured by property he owns in Canton. He is due back in court Feb. 23.

Accountant charged with helping ex-Sen. Brian Joyce defraud IRS Image: Former Massachusetts State Sen. Brian Joyce is surrounded by reporters as he leaves the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Worcester, Mass By Erin Tiernan The Patriot Ledger Posted Jan 29, 2018 at 2:50 PM
Federal prosecutors say John H. Nardozzi helped the former Milton Democrat avoid paying almost $800,000 in taxes over a four-year period.
WORCESTER — A longtime accountant for former state Sen. Brian Joyce has been charged with helping the embattled Milton Democrat prepare and file false income tax returns, federal officials said.
John. H. Nardozzi of Waltham is accused of aiding Joyce and his family in defrauding the government out of almost $800,000 in taxes over a four-year period, according to an indictment unsealed on Monday.
Joyce was charged in a separate federal indictment in December that alleges he laundered more than $1 million in kickbacks and bribes through his law practice and another private business.
Nardozzi will appear in federal court in Worcester on Monday afternoon, charged with one count of conspiring to defraud the IRS and eight counts of aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax returns, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Prosecutors allege Nardozzi conspired with Joyce to defraud the IRS by deducting millions of dollars in personal expenses as legitimate business expenses, inflating self-employment income for Joyce and his wife by more than $2 million in order to maximize retirement plan contributions, falsifying withdrawals from a retirement account and falsifying dividends on Joyce’s personal tax returns.
In total, Nardozzi is accused of misclassifying $2,268,520 to reduce Joyce’s tax burden, according to prosecutors. Joyce’s law firm should have paid out $850,748 in taxes during that period, of which Joyce paid just $56,766.
“For tax years 2011 through and including 2014, defendant Nardozzi and Joyce knowingly and willfully caused [Brian Joyce’s law firm] to avoid paying approximately $793,982 in federal corporate income taxes,” the indictment states.
Joyce, who moved to Westport with his family last year following an FBI-raid on his law office, faces more than 100 charges ranging from racketeering and extortion to money laundering and could place Joyce behind bars for up to 20 years.
Then-Acting U.S. Attorney William Weinreb hinted in December at a press conference announcing Joyce’s indictment that more arrests were likely as the investigation into Joyce’s alleged corruption continued.
“He used his office as a criminal enterprise to make deals with his business cronies and in exchange he took bribes, kickbacks ... and took steps to conceal his corrupt acts,” Weinreb said at the time
Nardozzi’s indictment indicates that prosecutors believe the certified public accountant played a part in that cover up.
Joyce and his wife bought $471,250 in common stock from a Delaware energy insurance broker in 2014, $395,125 of which they paid for though a series of early withdrawals from their retirement accounts. In the Joyce indictment, prosecutors said the retirement account was a sham created to evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment in the company, which stood to benefit from alternative-energy legislation that Joyce pushing on Beacon Hill.
Prosecutors allege Nardozzi, an accountant of 37 years, falsely reported it as a tax-exempt retirement account rollover with the intent to help the Joyce’s avoid paying taxes to the IRS.
“By reporting the early withdrawal of funds from the Joyce’s retirement accounts as a tax-exempt rollover on Joyce’s 2014 personal tax return... defendant Nardozzi and Joyce caused Joyce and Joyce’s spouse to avoid paying approximately $208,100 in additional income taxes and early withdrawal penalties,” the indictment states.
Nardozzi was not named in the original 113-count indictment against Joyce. Joyce pleaded not guilty to the charges on Dec. 8 and is currently free on a $250,000 bond.
Prosecutors have also fingered Joyce’s laweyr, Howard Cooper as taking a role in Joyce’s corruption coverup. A motion filed earlier this month asked a federal judge to remove Cooper from Joyce’s defense team, accusing him of making “several material and false representations” to the state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce. Cooper has not been indicted, but prosecutors said Cooper helped Joyce cover up at least two of his schemes, including the stock purchase, and could provide important testimony at trial.

Prosecutors in Joyce case earn rebuke from legal community
By Neal Simpson The Patriot Ledger Posted Apr 4, 2018 at 4:47 PM
BOSTON — Federal prosecutors seeking to disqualify an attorney for former state Sen. Brian Joyce from his upcoming corruption trial have earned a rebuke from dozens of lawyers and several legal organizations who accuse them of trying to to broaden their ability to have defendants’ lawyers removed.
Prosecutors had argued that attorney Howard M. Cooper, founding partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, should be stripped from Joyce’s defense team at trial because Cooper has unwittingly helped Joyce cover up some of his corrupt activities by submitting false statements to the state Ethics Commission, making Cooper a potential witness to Joyce’s crimes. But in an amicus brief submitted earlier this week, a collection of lawyers and legal organizations argue that such thinking would erode defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to their chosen counsel and interfere with attorneys’ ability to represent their clients while criminal charges are pending.
“Granting the present motion would threaten ethical and effective advocacy by counsel in numerous other cases,” the brief reads. “It would encourage the government to seek to disqualify counsel more frequently in any of the array of circumstances in which defense counsel may advocate on a client’s behalf and might present what the government may later claim to be inaccurate information.”
The battle over the future of Joyce’s legal representation comes as the former Milton Democrat faces a 113-count indictment accusing him of turning his Beacon Hill office into a money-making venture where he traded legislation and political influence for more than $1 million in kickbacks, hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a 2014 Jeep. He was arrested on the charges this past December and released on $250,000 bond.
A little more than a month after Joyce’s arrest, federal prosecutors indicated that they would seek to disqualify Cooper from representing Joyce at trial and could call him to testify about several statements he made to the ethics commission on Joyce’s behalf. Some of those statements had addressed the commission’s questions about whether the senator had received free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in exchange for pushing favorable legislation, whether he’d filed legislation without disclosing that it would benefit a client, and whether he’d appeared before a state commission while concealing his financial investment in the company.
Prosecutors have not suggested that Cooper was aware that the statements were false, but said that Joyce had nonetheless “entangled Attorney Cooper in the cover-up.” In a motion filed in late February, prosecutors argued that Joyce had used Cooper’s statements to further his crimes, making communications between the two exempt from attorney-client privilege.
In response, Joyce accused prosecutors of trying to disqualify his attorney by making him into a witness even through they hadn’t shown any need for Cooper’s testimony. Joyce said he would even stipulate that he himself had prepared and reviewed the statements that prosecutors say were false.
Joyce, who is a lawyer, also argued Cooper had only submitted the statements to defend Joyce against allegations of wrongdoing and had not been involved in setting up the corrupt deals Joyce is accused of making. Joyce hired Cooper and his firm, Todd & Weld, in March 2015 after Boston Globe reporters began asking Joyce’s office questions.
Joyce said disqualifying Cooper would violated his Sixth Amendment right to choose his legal counsel and force him to find a new attorney following the loss of his job, the end of his practice and “the exhaustion of his resources.”
“Now the government takes aim at the one attorney who has represented him throughout, in whom he reposes the greatest trust and confidence, and ask the Court to require him to start over with new counsel he does not want and cannot afford,” attorneys for Joyce and Cooper said in a motion filed on their behalf. “This would be a cruel, unfair and clearly unconstitutional blow.”
The Boston legal community apparently agrees. In a motion filed Monday, a group including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and 71 individual attorneys argued that the prosecutors’ request had “far-reaching and troubling Sixth Amendment implications,” potentially opening the door for prosecutors to have defense attorneys removed from a case by claiming that they had previously presented inaccurate information on their client’s behalf. The Boston Bar Association is seeking to file a separate amicus brief.
“We believe the government’s motion threatens the constitutionally protected right of a lawyer to present a client’s defense to courts and to government agencies,” Jon Albano, president-elect of the Boston Bar Association, said in a statement. “A lawyer should not be disqualified for presenting a client’s side of a case when there is no evidence that the lawyer knew the client was not telling the truth.”

Judgment delivered at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 30, 2017. REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY:
THE COURT

Docket: A-48-16 Citation: 2017 FCA 213 CORAM:
WEBB J.A. NEAR J.A. GLEASON J.A.
BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
I. Introduction
[1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos) filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan (Claim at para. 96).
[2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the Prothontary’s Order).
[3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr. Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
[4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016. As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s cross-appeal.
II. Preliminary Matter
[5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with several judges but did not name those judges.
[6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. F-7:
5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal. […]
5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale. […] 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour fédérale.
[7] However, these subsections only provide that the judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this section. [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that: 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale.
[9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that appeal book.
[10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a conflict in any matter related to him.
[11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
[12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that such judge had a conflict.
[13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr. Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he was a member of such firm.
[14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb, focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
[15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias: 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the reasonable apprehension of bias: … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
[17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. (4th) 193).
[18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with his former firm for a considerable period of time.
32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving events from over a decade ago. (emphasis added)
[19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice Webb hearing this appeal.
[20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
[21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
[22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
[23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him to recuse himself.
[24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
[25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
III. Issue
[26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
IV. Analysis
A. Standard of Review
[27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
[28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to interfere.
B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the Prothonotary’s Order?
[29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court. (…)
21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance. A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he suspects he is barred from the House of Commons. [footnotes omitted].
[30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at para. 27).
[31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada, 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
[13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly. Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28 (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
[32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in public office because the actors, who barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
[33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321 D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
…When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”. “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse of process…
To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.” (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
[34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
[35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons, these allegations are not particularized and are directed against non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such, the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action.
[36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend. The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
V. Conclusion [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment, dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety without leave to amend.

Former Aboriginal Affairs minister looking to jump into federal politics
Jake Stewart was first elected in 2010 and has won re-election 3 times since then
Jacques Poitras· CBC News · Posted: Apr 08, 2021 9:27 AM AT |
Jake Stewart announced Thursday he's running for the federal Conservative Party nomination for Miramichi-Grand Lake. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
Progressive Conservative MLA Jake Stewart says he wants to make the leap to federal politics.
Stewart, a former Aboriginal Affairs minister in the Higgs government and a four-term MLA representing Southwest Miramichi-Bay du Vin, announced Thursday he's running for the federal Conservative Party nomination for Miramichi-Grand Lake.
"As a provincial MLA, I've got 11 years of experience, I've got the support and encouragement from my constituents, and I've seen myself personally how left out we've become at the federal level," he said in an interview.
"I've got the experience, the public is behind me, my constituents are happy about it, my family's good with it -- it's the right thing to do."
Stewart left out of cabinet in 2018
Stewart was first elected in 2010 and has won re-election three times since then.
He became Aboriginal Affairs minister when Premier Blaine Higgs took power in 2018 but was left out of the cabinet when Higgs shuffled his team after last fall's provincial election.
After losing his cabinet position, he criticized the premier's decision to make Aboriginal Affairs one of several cabinet responsibilities held by a single minister, rather than a stand-alone position.
"I don't like it," Stewart said at the time. "I think the relationship is so important that I don't think that was a good idea."
He would not commit at the time to serving out a full four-year term as MLA.
"My mind isn't really there," he said. "Right now I'm going to focus on my riding. So you never know."
But Stewart said Thursday that his exclusion from cabinet played no role in the decision to run federally. He said he always planned to leave provincial politics after this term and has long dreamt of becoming a federal MP.
"It's always disappointing when you're not in cabinet," he said. "Every MLA wants to be in cabinet. Sure, at the time it hurt and I moved on from it.
"I'm actually not at odds with any of my colleagues and the premier. … It's not related to not being in cabinet."
Departure would narrow PC majority
Federal party members in Miramichi-Grand Lake will officially nominate their candidate May 15.
Should he win the nomination, Stewart would not be required to quit his provincial seat until a federal election is called and he formally submits nomination documents to Elections Canada.
Stewart's departure from the legislature would reduce the PC government to a narrower majority of 26 seats, including the speaker, in the 49-seat legislature.
It would also require a by-election to be called within six months.
Liberal MP Pat Finnigan won Miramichi-Grand Lake in the 2015 federal election and was re-elected there in 2019 by a smaller margin.
Jacques Poitras has been CBC's provincial affairs reporter in New Brunswick since 2000. Raised in Moncton, he also produces the CBC political podcast Spin Reduxit.

Caucus dissent over COVID OK, breaking health rules means expulsion: Alberta premier
Almost half of the party's 40 backbenchers are publicly condemning a return to stricter health restrictions
Dean Bennett· The Canadian Press · Posted: Apr 08, 2021 8:39 PM MT
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney speaks at a news conference Thursday. (CBC)
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is drawing a line in the sand for 18 of his backbenchers who are openly criticizing public-health restrictions meant to face down COVID-19.
Kenney says dissent is part of a democracy, but adds he has warned United Conservative legislature members that flouting the rules means disciplinary action that includes getting kicked out of caucus.
"I made it very clear to my caucus this morning that while we accept a diversity of opinions and I totally respect the obligation of members to represent their constituents … the government caucus could not tolerate any member counselling people to engage in civil disobedience or to break public-health measures," Kenney said Thursday.
"I think that's well understood by our team."
Asked if he would remove violators from caucus, Kenney had a one-word reply: "Yes."
Almost half of the party's 40 backbenchers are publicly condemning a return to stricter health restrictions Kenny announced this week. They want eased rules or, if not, targeting them in areas with high COVID-19 case rates.
Sixteen of the politicians, most representing rural constituencies, have signed an open letter saying the changes are a step backwards that threatens livelihoods and freedoms.
One of them is Nate Horner who represents Drumheller-Stettler.
Watch | MLAs speak out against restrictions
Banff-Kananaskis MLA Miranda Rosin says the UCP members who signed a letter against the latest public health restrictions did so to voice the concerns of their constituents. 2:1
A post on his Facebook page says a regional approach to restrictions is needed that takes into account rural constituencies, including his, with few infections.
Others who signed the letter include Speaker Nathan Cooper and former municipal affairs minister Tracy Allard. Allard left cabinet in January after a public outcry over a trip to Hawaii for Christmas, despite the government urging Albertans to stay home.
Legislature member Martin Long didn't sign the letter, but is also critical of the tighter restrictions. Fellow caucus member Dan Williams wants them to be eased for worship services.
"Worship is a fundamental freedom that we must maintain," Williams said in a video posted to social media Wednesday. It was the same day Alberta Health Services closed down an Edmonton-area church charged with ignoring capacity limits on services.
"I respect and understand the 15 per cent capacity limit. I'm frustrated by it. I've brought it up in the legislature multiple times that we should be lifting these numbers," he said.
New restrictions
The province has been imposing, amending, deleting and reimposing rules for businesses and public gatherings for more than a year to try to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus while keeping the economy and public life as normal as possible.
This week, Kenney again closed restaurants to in-person dining, put a halt to group fitness activities at gyms and rolled back customer capacity at retail stores to 15 per cent from 25.
He said that despite more Albertans being vaccinated, a recent spike in variant cases would overwhelm health care in five weeks if further restrictions were not imposed.
More than 756,000 Albertans have received at least one dose of vaccine. Kenney said the vaccines, along with other factors, may allow the government to eventually return to regionally targeted restrictions, as was done for a while last year.
The Opposition says all legislature members have influence and authority, and suggests that Kenney is putting lives at risk by allowing some of them to question health restrictions and the science that underlies them.
"Jason Kenney is a weak leader who does not recognize the consequences of this [caucus] revolt," said NDP Leader Rachel Notley.
"These [dissident] MLAs need to be telling Albertans to keep each other safe, not putting them in danger. They're being irresponsible, selfish and, quite frankly, they should be ashamed."

Judge rules Edmonton pastor will remain in jail until his trial in May
By Terry Haig | english@rcinet.ca Posted: Friday, March 5, 2021 13:45
An Alberta pastor who has clashed for months with provincial health authorities over COVID-19 restrictions will remain in jail until he goes to trial in May because he refuses to follow a bail condition that requires he comply with public health orders.
The pastor, James Coates of the GraceLife Church in Parkland County west of Edmonton, has been in jail for over two weeks and was appealing his bail conditions.
After hearing arguments yesterday from Coates’s lawyers, Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Peter Michalyshyn dismissed the bail review this morning.
Coates is charged with violating Alberta’s Public Health Act and with breaking a promise to abide by conditions of his bail release, which is a Criminal Code offence.

His lawyer, James Kitchen, told the court Thursday that Coates can’t follow a bail condition that forbids him from holding services because that would violate his conscience by disobeying God.
“This is a matter of deep-seeded personal conscience and religious beliefs for Pastor Coates,” Kitchen said.
“He is unable to disobey the God he believes in. He is compelled to obey … as [are] his congregants.”
The prosecution argued that Coates’s release would be a danger to the public.
Outside the courthouse, dozens of Coates’s supporters gathered–many of them not wearing face masks–and more than 350 attended the hearing via the court’s web conferencing software.
Some failed to mute their microphones, leading to frequent disruptions.

Coates turned himself in to police on Feb. 16 and was charged with two counts in contravention of the Public Health Act and charged for failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.
He refused release, saying he could not abide by the conditions.
Prior to his detention, his Sunday services were drawing up to 300 members, and in early February Coates was charged for a second time for breaking the rules.
He was fined in December and Alberta Health Services ordered the church to close in January, but Coates ignored the orders.
The church has continued to hold services, even though Coates is in custody.
Alberta court jails Pastor Coates through to May 3-5 trial
Mar 5th, 2021
EDMONTON: The Justice Centre is very disappointed to announce that Justice Peter Michalyshyn of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench in Edmonton has ruled that Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church must remain in jail for the next eight weeks pending his trial, unless he agrees to abide by health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Pastor Coates has been in custody at the Edmonton Remand Centre since February 16, after he refused to sign a bail condition to comply with provincial health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
The Justice Centre filed an appeal in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, to seek the release of Pastor Coates from jail prior to a trial date set for May 3-5, 2021, in Alberta Provincial Court in Stony Plain. The Justice Centre represents Pastor Coates and Grace Life Church, a large church just west of Edmonton. Alberta Health Services (AHS) ticketed Pastor Coates, taken Grace Life and Pastor Coates to court, and even attempted to completely shut the Church down. Background information on Pastor Coates’ ordeal is available here.
“A trial set eight weeks down the road was too long for an innocent Pastor to be in jail. Pastor Coates is a peaceful Christian minister. He should never have been required to violate his conscience and effectively stop pastoring his church as a condition to be released. In every way this was a violation of Pastor Coates’ Charter rights and freedoms,” states lawyer John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre.
“Charter freedoms do not disappear because the government declares regular church services to be outlawed while allowing hundreds of people to fill their local Walmarts,” notes Carpay.

Alberta pastor charged with violating Public Health Act, still in custody for refusing conditions: RCMP
Diego Romero CTVNewsEdmonton.ca Digital Journalist
Published Wednesday, February 17, 2021 5:32PM MST
EDMONTON -- A pastor west of Edmonton remains in custody Wednesday after he was charged with breaking Alberta's Public Health Act and refusing to agree to the conditions of his release, RCMP said.
James Coates turned himself in to police on Tuesday, two days after a service Alberta Health Services and RCMP attended where he "was not complying with his Undertaking release conditions" issued a week earlier, police said.
The pastor was charged with two counts of contravention of the Public Health Act and failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking. Related Stories

Coates attended a bail hearing Tuesday and was to be released on conditions, but was kept in custody overnight "after refusing to agree to those conditions," RCMP said.
Those conditions, his lawyer told CTV News, include stopping church services, but "Coates could not, in good conscience, agree to that condition."
The pastor made a court appearance on Wednesday and was given a second court appearance for next Wednesday after he continued to refuse to agree to the conditions, Mounties added.
“We’ve been consistent in our approach of escalated levels of enforcement with Pastor Coates, and we were hopeful to resolve this issue in a different manner,” said RCMP Insp. Mike Lokken. “The Pastor’s actions, and the subsequent effects those actions could have on the health and safety of citizens, dictated our response in this situation.”
On Tuesday, Coates' lawyer told CTV News his client was willing to go to jail in order to do the "right thing."
"His first obedience is to his Lord, is to his God. And normally, obeying Jesus and obeying the government go right in hand," James Kitchen said. "The government's forcing him in to a position where he has to choose between disobeying God and obeying government, or obeying God and disobeying government."
GraceLife was first cited for hosting more than 15 per cent of its capacity at a December service and the pastor was fined $1,200.
A Court of Queen's Bench order was issued in January when it continued to break COVID-19 restrictions.
GraceLife has held services for three consecutive weeks after it was ordered to close at the end of January.
The church was not in compliance with the Public Health Act last Sunday, RCMP said Wednesday.
A day earlier in a statement, GraceLife said: "We do not see our actions as perpetuating the longevity of COVID-19 or any other virus that will inevitably come along. If anything, we see our actions as contributing to its end – the end of destructive lockdowns and the end of the attempt to institutionalize the debilitating fear of viral infections. Our local church is clear evidence that governmental lockdowns are unnecessary. In fact, it is also evidence of how harmful they are."
Criminal lawyer Tom Engel says the RCMP should shut down the church and charge everyone in attendance.
"Every person who is in that church knows that they are breaking the law," he said.
'UNCOMMONLY GOOD' RELATIONSHIP WITH RCMP: KITCHEN
Coates' lawyer told CTV News GraceLife has an "uncommonly good" relationship with the RCMP because "the police have acted, in this case, very differently than how they have acted with a lot of other people."
Complicating Kitchen's claim is the fact that a retired Mountie, Paul Claassen, is GraceLife's chair.
"It leads to the impression that there's a double standard, there's a bias in favour of this church," Engel said.
But in a statement, Insp. Lokken said: "Our response to the non compliance of the Church has been consistent with our overall RCMP strategy in the Province which is; education, an opportunity for compliance, and lastly, enforcement. Parkland RCMP has managed the investigation into the GraceLife Church with absolutely no influence from any member of their administration or congregation, regardless of any past or present affiliation with our organization.
"The RCMP has conducted all their interactions with the Church in an impartial, professional, and respectful manner.”

RE: Rampant Public Corruption
Hey,
Pursuant to my recent phone calls to Norman Sabourin and various underlings of Shirley Heafey within the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP over the years plus my many faxes and emails please find enclosed exactly the same material received by every Attorney General in Canada over the past year. The CD which is a copy of a police surveillance wiretap tape # 139 is served upon you as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated. As you can see I have enclosed a copy of a letter sent to the latest Attorney General Mr. Wally Opal in BC. Perhaps he should take a little trip to Surrey and ask your office some hard questions. Perhaps the ghost of my fellow Independent politician, Chuck Cadman may wish to answer few questions now as well. Hard telling not knowing.
I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes. However I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also included a few recent items to spice thing up for you. I am tired of trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me.

Robin Camp case: What does it take to remove a judge from the bench? Only two federally appointed judges recommended for dismissal since 1971
By Nicole Ireland, CBC News Posted: Nov 12, 2015 5:00 AM ET
The case of a judge who asked a woman, "Why couldn't you just keep your knees together?" during an Alberta sexual assault trial is raising questions about what kind of behaviour warrants removing a justice from the bench.
Judge under review for berating sex assault complainant Read the complaint against Justice Robin Camp
Only two judges have been recommended for removal by the Canadian Judicial Council — a group of federally appointed judges tasked with investigating complaints about their peers — since it was created in 1971. Trevor Farrow
Trevor Farrow, associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, says it's 'a good thing' that judges don't lightly recommend dismissing their peers. (Osgoode Hall Law School)
In both cases, the judges resigned before the recommendations made it to Parliament, which ultimately decides whether or not to dismiss a Canadian judge.
On Monday, the judicial council announced it was reviewing the conduct of Robin Camp while he was an Alberta provincial court judge in 2014, when he presided over a case involving a 19-year-old woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted by a Calgary man during a house party.
According to the complaint that prompted the review, in addition to the "keep your knees together" comment, Camp asked during the trial, "Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn't penetrate you?" (The woman alleged she was sexually assaulted over a sink).
"At numerous points during the proceeding, Justice Camp was dismissive of, if not contemptuous towards, the substantive law of sexual assault and the rules of evidence," the complaint said. "In particular, he showed disregard, if not disdain, for the rape shield provisions under the Criminal Code, the legal definition of consent to sexual touching, and the Criminal Code provision and case law regarding the doctrine of recent complaint.
"His articulated disrespect for these legal rules was, in some instances, combined with a refusal to apply them."
The Canadian Judicial Council must decide whether the complaint against Camp, now a Federal Court judge, has merit and, if so, whether it warrants the establishment of a review panel that could call a public inquiry.
In the last four decades, the judicial council has ordered public inquiries for 11 complaints against judges. Two of those inquiries are still ongoing. In some cases, the judge resigned before the inquiry was complete. For example, the late Judge Robert Flahiff was convicted in 1999 for laundering money for a drug dealer back in the 1980s, before he became a judge. He resigned before the judicial council finished its inquiry.
Former Quebec judge convicted of money laundering dies Convicted Quebec judge resigns
In other cases, the council recommended that the judges involved not be removed from the bench — even if there had been inappropriate conduct.
"It's not a fait accompli that if you have engaged in some kind of misconduct you should be removed from office," said Norman Sabourin, the Canadian Judicial Council's executive director, in an interview with CBC News on Tuesday. "Assessing the gravity of a misconduct is a difficult exercise." Media placeholder
Canadian Judicial Council exec on review of judge's behaviour7:06
The overarching question in making that determination, the council said, is whether the judge has the required confidence of the public to continue to preside in court.
So when has the council recommended that a judge be removed? Here are the two cases in which that happened. The details come from documents available on the Canadian Judicial Council's website:
Paul Cosgrove, Ontario Superior Court
On April 22, 2004, Ontario's attorney general at the time, Michael Bryant, asked the council to consider whether Judge Paul Cosgrove should be removed from office based on his conduct in the murder trial of Julia Yvonne Elliott.
The attorney general said Cosgrove had ordered an "unwarranted stay" of proceedings.
Ontario judge resigns over misconduct
"The proceedings tarnished the administration of justice and turned into an exercise of vilifying the state built on irrelevant, inappropriate and harmful findings," Bryant wrote. "The proceedings trivialized the charter and deprived society and the victim's family of any semblance of justice."
The attorney general's complaint alleged that Cosgrove had demonstrated similar behaviour in other court cases, citing Court of Appeal findings that the judge had "reduced the proceedings to a 'procedural nightmare' for the Crown" and shown a "suspicious attitude toward the government that caused him to misapprehend some of the evidence before him."
On March 30, 2009, after a public inquiry, the Canadian Judicial Council recommended that Cosgrove be removed from office. The judge resigned the following month.
Jean Bienvenue, Superior Court of Quebec
In December 1995, the then attorneys general of Quebec and Canada, Paul Bégin and Allan Rock, asked the Canadian Judicial Council for a public inquiry into the conduct of Judge Jean Bienvenue during the trial of Tracy Théberge, who was convicted of second-degree murder in death of her husband.
According to the inquiry report, Bienvenue made offensive comments about Jewish victims of the Holocaust and about women while sentencing the accused.
"It is said that when women ascend the scale of virtues, they reach higher than men, and I have always believed this. And it is also said, and this too I believe, that when they decide to degrade themselves, they sink to depths to which even the vilest man could not sink," Bienvenue said.
The judge also said: "At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland, which I once visited horror-stricken, even the Nazis did not eliminate millions of Jews in a painful or bloody manner. They died in the gas chambers, without suffering."
During the inquiry, Bienvenue argued that he had not meant to be offensive and that he had met with the Canadian Jewish Congress. He also issued a statement apologizing to women offended by his remarks.
On June 25, 1996, four out of five members of the Canadian Judicial Council committee recommended that Bienvenue be removed from office. They wrote, "We believe that if Mr. Justice Bienvenue were to preside over a case, a reasonable and informed person... would have a reasonable apprehension that the judge would not execute his office with the objectivity, impartiality and independence that the public is entitled to expect from a judge."
Bienvenue resigned before the recommendation went to Parliament.
What does the low number of removals mean?
The rarity of judges removing their peers from the bench is a reflection of the value Canada places on an independent judiciary, said Trevor Farrow, a professor and associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto.
"Judges don't recommend removal lightly," he said. "That's a good thing when you're balancing the requirement that judges have the courage and independence to make tough choices in often really challenging circumstances that involve vulnerable people."
At the same time, Farrow said, it's important that the Canadian Judicial Council has "the power to recommend sanctions, including removal if warranted, to maintain the public's trust and confidence."

Federal Court judge Robin Camp faces inquiry over sexual assault trial conduct 7-day public hearing will determine if judge who referred to rape victim as 'the accused' can remain on bench By Meghan Grant, CBC News Posted: Aug 31, 2016 6:15 PM MT
An inquiry begins Tuesday afternoon for a judge, formerly with Alberta provincial court, who is facing dismissal from the Federal Court over controversial comments directed at a sexual assault complainant in 2014.
Judge Robin Camp's 'insensitive, rude' comments not grounds for dismissal: lawyer
The public hearing takes place before a panel of five — three superior court judges and two senior lawyers — over the next week-and-a-half at the Westin Hotel in downtown Calgary.
"These are public hearings, they're open and they're transparent," said Johanna Laporte with the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC).
"The council recognizes that public confidence in the justice system can only be enhanced by these open proceedings and it's the council's mandate to ensure that serious matters involving judges are thoroughly investigated."
Robin Camp, who berated sex assault complainant, says counselling will make him a better judge Inquiry into Judge Robin Camp to hear from advocates for sex assault victims
Alberta Attorney General Kathleen Ganley forced the inquiry in January after a complaint made by two law professors at the University of Calgary and Dalhousie University.
After opening remarks by presenting counsel and Camp's lawyer, intervenors — women's groups and sexual assault centres — will make submissions and finally, the panel will hear from Camp himself, who has previously indicated he plans to apologize.
Panel members will then deliberate before releasing a decision — likely in written form — on whether or not Camp should remain on the bench at the Federal Court.
"The inquiry is squarely tasked with determining if the facts surrounding the complaint are serious enough to warrant the judge's removal," said Laporte. 'Why didn't you just sink your bottom down'
During the 2014 trial, Camp asked the complainant "why couldn't you just keep your knees together" during her testimony in his role as an Alberta Provincial Court judge.
The then 19-year-old woman alleged she was raped by Alexander Scott Wagar over a bathroom sink at a Calgary house party. Throughout the trial, Camp repeatedly referred to her as "the accused."
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn't penetrate you?" Camp asked the woman.
"That kind of comment goes back to the dinosaur age as far as I'm concerned," said Danielle Aubry with Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse.
Camp acquitted Wagar, but the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the ruling and ordered a new trial. By that time, Camp had been elevated to the Federal Court.
"When you become a judge ... that's a privilege, it's a very high position," said Aubry.
"It's incredulous to me that there are people sitting on the bench that are not educating themselves about issues like sexual violence."
In ordering a new trial, the Court of Appeal wrote that the judge's comments raised doubts about his understanding of sexual assault laws.
The Canadian Judicial Council received the initial complaint from four law professors at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary. After that, dozens more flooded in. Gender and sensitivity training
In his notice of response posted to the CJC website, Camp indicated that he agrees his comments were "insensitive and inappropriate," but says he has undergone gender and sensitivity training.
Camp arranged and paid for his sensitivity training himself, during which he worked with a Superior Court judge, a psychologist and an expert on the law of sexual assault.
He has indicated that he wishes to remain a judge.
The council members include Justice Austin Cullen, who will act as chairperson, Justice Deborah Smith and Justice Raymond Whalen. The two senior lawyers, Karen Jensen and Cynthia Petersen, were appointed by the federal justice minister.
Since the CJC was created in 1971, only two judges have been recommended for removal. but both ultimately resigned before Parliament, which has the final say, made its decision.
Seven days have been set aside for the hearing but it is not expected to run its allotted time. On Tuesday, it starts at 2 p.m. MT. but will begin at 9 a.m. MT otherwise.
Yea right tell me another one just like your former boss Landslide did.
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
OTTAWA — Anne McLellan has added her name to the list of former Liberal cabinet ministers who say they were not fully briefed by the RCMP on Maher Arar.
McLellan was appointed public safety minister in December 2003 and, shortly thereafter, called a judicial inquiry into the case.
This fall, Justice Dennis O'Connor concluded the RCMP passed inaccurate information to the United States on Arar that likely led to his detention and torture in Syria.
On Tuesday, McLellan confirmed she was briefed on the "Arar situation" by RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and former CSIS director Ward Elcock.
But she said she only learned that the RCMP had passed along false information on Arar to the U.S. when the O'Connor report was released in late September.
The RCMP described Arar to U.S. authorities as an Islamic extremist suspected of ties to al-Qaida, even though he was never more than a "person of interest" in an RCMP national-security investigation.
"In my presence, (neither) Commissioner Zaccardelli, nor anyone else, either from the RCMP or CSIS, (ever) referred to Mr. Arar as an Islamic extremist," McLellan told a Commons public safety committee that has been probing the Arar affair.
"That was an expression that was never used in relation to Mr. Arar in my presence. Ever."
McLellan's statements appear to contradict assertions by Zaccardelli that he briefed the government about the mistakes by the RCMP.
In an appearance before the same committee in late September, Zaccardelli said he informed former solicitor general Wayne Easter about the errors. The solicitor general was the minister in charge of the RCMP before the position was abolished last year.
But last month, Easter testified that he was never so informed.
"There is no situation where the RCMP came to me and basically said, 'We screwed up. We provided improper information,’” he said at the time.
Earlier this month, Elcock of CSIS also testified he did not learn of the RCMP's mislabeling of Arar until after the O'Connor report was released.
On Tuesday, McLellan described an environment in which concern about the Arar affair reached to the top of the political ladder.
She said that soon after former prime minister Paul Martin took office in December 2003, he asked her to "get to the bottom of what had happened to Mr. Arar."
Ottawa Citizen
That was what Landslide Annie had to say about the RCMP before Dion was picked as leader of the liberals aweek or so ago. Ask me what I sent Wayne Easter as Paul Martin was being crowned as Humpty Dumpty three years ago. Clearly I sent something EH?
Jan 3rd, 2004 Mr. David R. Amos 153 Alvin Avenue Milton, MA 02186 U.S.A.
Dear Mr. Amos Thank you for your letter of November 19th, 2003, addressed to my predecessor, the Honourble Wayne Easter, regarding your safety. I apologize for the delay in responding. If you have any concerns about your personal safety, I can only suggest that you contact the police of local jurisdiction. In addition, any evidence of criminal activity should be brought to their attention since the police are in the best position to evaluate the information and take action as deemed appropriate. I trust that this information is satisfactory.

By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."
What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’"

As this Court has >>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will >>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be >>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. >>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See >>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. >>> (4th) 193). >>> >>> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. >>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the > Supreme >>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the >>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a >>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was >>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The > Ontario >>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the >>> judge had no involvement with the person or th>> lawyer. The Ontario >>> Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for >>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the >>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: >>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a >>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over >>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, >>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified. >>> >>> >>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been >>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to >>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from >>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the >>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial >>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by > the >>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield >>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that >>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge >>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances." >>> >>> >>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an >>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the >>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of >>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification >>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of >>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous >>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. >>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), >>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying >>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory >>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential >>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the >>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. >>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and >>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value >>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19. >>> >>> >>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular > circumstances >>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a >>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there > are >>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not > to >>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, >>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and >>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of >>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: >>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform >>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this >>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor > is >>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on >>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, >>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. >>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson >>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of >>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had >>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with >>> his former firm for a considerable period of time. >>> >>> >>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter >>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly >>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because >>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement >>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. >>> In these circumstances it ca>> trial judge could not remain impartial in >>> the case. The mere fact > that >>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a >>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he > would >>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former >>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw >>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour > a >>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six > years >>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving >>> events from over a decade ago. >>> (emphasis added) >>> >>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter >>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or >>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made > it >>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the >>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of >>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for >>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with >>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have >>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he >>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any >>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had >>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is >>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since >>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would >>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in > Justice >>> Webb hearing this appeal. >>> >>> [20] Similarly in R. v.

Issue >>> >>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the >>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the > Claim >>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. >>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick >>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action? >>> >>> IV.

In what can best be described as a neo-liberal death rattle from Andrew Coyne, he somehow concludes that it's important to do global deals on trade and capital flows but totally insane to do a global deal on tax. The logic astounds.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s call for a global corporate minimum tax is being hailed in some quarters as a return to American leadership. That’s one word for it, I suppose.
Speaking to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs on Monday, Ms. Yellen called for an end to the “30-year race to the bottom on corporate tax rates.” An agreement among nations to impose a minimum rate of tax, she said, would “end the pressures of tax competition,” ensuring that governments can “raise sufficient revenue to invest in essential public goods.”
What she is proposing, in sum, is a global tax cartel. Rather than compete with each other to attract private capital, governments would collude with each other to extort it. There are all sorts of practical problems with this proposal, but let’s first examine why it’s such an awful idea in principle.
Some background. In 2017, the United States cut its statutory corporate tax rate from 35 per cent – the highest in the world – to a more middle-of-the-pack 21 per cent, as part of a broader suite of tax reforms. The Biden administration now proposes to jack it back up to 28 per cent, the better to finance its $2.3-trillion American Jobs Plan.
Recognizing the threat this poses to American competitiveness, the administration hit upon the ingenious scheme of getting the rest of the world to agree not to compete. It’s easy to see why some governments might think this was in their interests. It’s harder to see why it would be in the interest of their populations.
Competition in taxes is generally as beneficial as it is in most other walks of life. Governments otherwise would be tempted to raise taxes without end, especially on faceless corporations – who, after all, don’t vote. Competition with other jurisdictions acts as a check on Leviathan, in the same way as competition in conventional markets keeps corporations from raising prices at will.
That this has helped to reduce corporate tax rates over the years, from an average of roughly 40 per cent worldwide in 1980 to 24 per cent today, is more to be celebrated than bemoaned. Other things being equal, lower tax rates are to be preferred to higher, for themore an investment must earn, before tax, to deliver an acceptable rate of return after tax, the fewer such investments will take place.
“Race to the bottom” rhetoric to the contrary, taxes remain in every country far in excess of what is required to fund “essential public goods.” Indeed, while corporate tax rates have fallen, corporate tax revenues have not. For example, over the past 30-odd years Canada has slashed its federal rate from 38 per cent to 15 per cent. Yet revenues from the tax, as a share of GDP, have remained unchanged, at around 2 per cent.
And of course, corporations don’t actually pay the tax. People do. One way or another, the corporate tax is always passed on: either to consumers, in higher prices, or shareholders, in lower returns, or especially to the company’s employees, in lower wages. Which is one reason many economists propose abolishing the corporate income tax altogether, in favour of a cash-flow or windfall profits tax. Would a country that wished to implement such a reform run afoul of Ms. Yellen’s agreement?
Perhaps the U.S. might persuade countries with tax rates equal to or higher than its own to join its proposed global tax-fixing ring. It’s less likely that countries such as Hungary, with a corporate tax rate of 9 per cent, or Ireland, at 12.5 per cent, would. (Would Canada? The Biden tax increase would restore the corporate tax rate advantage we lost in 2017. Why would we agree to give this up?)
True, the OECD has discussed its own minimum tax plan, but at a rate of 12 per cent, not the 21 per cent the U.S. proposes. Even there, agreement may prove elusive, and fleeting. Cartel discipline is notoriously hard to maintain.
It’s not even clear why the U.S. is pursuing this. The standard rationale is to prevent U.S.-based multinationals from engaging in tax arbitrage – shifting profits from higher-tax jurisdictions to lower-tax, by means of various accounting tricks. But the U.S. already has a remedy at hand. The 2017 reforms, for the first time, taxed U.S. corporations on income booked to their foreign subsidiaries, at half the statutory rate. The Biden plan would increase this rate to 21 per cent, a discount of just seven points. Presto: the incentive for tax arbitrage is reduced.
Of course, it could have closed the gap from the other end, by further cuts to the standard rate. But that would interfere with the Biden administration’s Ozymandian spending ambitions. How much easier to bully other countries into, in effect, footing part of the bill.

Hundreds of business owners protest against B.C.'s new health restrictions

Hundreds of small business owners rallied at Vancouver City Hall Friday afternoon, protesting sweeping new health restrictions imposed by the province on Monday.
Many people were not wearing a mask or physical distancing, however they say they were not anti-mask protesters.
“They’re signing an execution order by this last (restriction),” said Chanel Kardos, owner and operator of Incognito Coffee.
Patio dining and take-out is all that’s allowed in B.C. until April 19, but at one Olympic Village eatery, people could still be seen dining indoors on Thursday. Gusto restaurant owner Federico Fuoco told CTV News Vancouver he does not intend to follow the temporary ban on indoor dining, and added he feels businesses were “blindsided” by the new rules.
“Where’s the science on this? Where’s the rationale? Meanwhile, liquor stores, Costco, Walmart, they get to open fully,” he said. “The discrepancy and the double standards are insidious, and I think businesses have had enough.”
The owner of Corduroy Restaurant in Kitsilano has also decided to defy public health orders.
“Our restaurant is going to open on Friday, after the protest, anytime after 4 p.m. We are going to do first-come, first-served. Saturday and Sunday we will be taking reservations,” she said in a video posted to social media.
Protesters on Friday are asking the provincial government to cancel the three-week circuit breaker, saying their businesses will not survive it.
“Our biggest concern right now is that the shutdown is going to go further than three weeks,” said Marino Nanagnostopoulos, owner and operator of Simpatico Ristorante.
Data from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business shows in September 2020, there were 58,000 fewer active businesses in Canada compared to September 2019. The CFIB predicts up to 238,000 businesses could disappear before the pandemic is over.
“A lot of businesses did not survive the last 13 months. We made it this far and this restriction came out of nowhere,” said Kardos.
On Tuesday, Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart put forward an emergency proposal to help the struggling hospitality industry that includes waiving patio fees and cutting taxes.
Kardos says this response is “too little, too late.”
“It’s not about more government assistance,” she said. “It’s about getting our customers back so we can run our business the way we originally intended.”

In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a > possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. > [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb > was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum > Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. > 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a > judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable > apprehension of bias: > 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the > criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de > Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy > Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the > reasonable apprehension of bias: > … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by > reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the > question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words > of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, > viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought > the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely > than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or > unconsciously, would not decide fairly." > > [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed > person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having > thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations > give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has > previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will > administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be > rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. > Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See > also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. > (4th) 193). > > [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. > Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme > Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the > particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a > case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was > involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario > Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the > judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a > lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for > determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the > rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: > 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a > finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over > which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, > as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified. > > > 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been > asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to > the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from > taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the > defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial > judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the > Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield > Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that > there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge > and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances." > > > 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an > inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the > different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of > judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification > of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of > conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous > involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. > in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), > for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying > interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory > statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential > information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the > opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. > His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and > had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value > unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19. > > > 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances > of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a > disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are > two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to > recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, > that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and > that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of > time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: > To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform > the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this > involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is > the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on > circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, > or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. > 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson > Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of > trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had > been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with > his former firm for a considerable period of time. > > > 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter > realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly > and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because > of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement > in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. > In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the > trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that > his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a > decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would > either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former > client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw > off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a > client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years > earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving > events from over a decade ago. > (emphasis added) > > [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter > involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or > Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it > clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the > alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of > Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for > Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with > Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have > had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he > was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any > involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had > with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is > sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since > Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would > also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice > Webb hearing this appeal. > > [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. > (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no > reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of > the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement > with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm. > > [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 > F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a > reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a > lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who > was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as > Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. > Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law. > > [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He > stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy > of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. > He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD > entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities > and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing > to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American > police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law > enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a > conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy. > > [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable > apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him > to recuse himself. > > [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional > experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding > the cross-appeal.

There is no indication that the letter > was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. > Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason > for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does > not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. > > > III. Issue > > [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the > Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim > in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. > Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick > legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action? > > IV. Analysis > > A. Standard of Review > > [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the > Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to > be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions > made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira > Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, > 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira].

As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal > Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a > prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the > case.

People are re-sharing an old Prince Philip quote about death.
In 1988, Prince Phillip said he would like to reincarnate as a deadly virus to solve overpopulation.
Prince Phillip died Friday aged 99.
The death of Prince Philip was announced by Buckingham Palace Friday morning. Soon after, many people on social media began to re-share an old Prince Philip quote in which he says that after he dies, he would like to reincarnate as a deadly virus to help solve the issue of overpopulation.
The quote is noted in an article by The Guardian newspaper from 2009 where some of Prince Philip's most controversial quotes are listed. The full quote reads: "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation."
Upon news of Prince Philip's death, many people on Twitter began to widely re-share the article and screenshots of Prince Philips's comment.
Riya tweeted a screenshot of the quote with the caption: "What the f---."
In a statement released early Friday morning, Buckingham Palace announced Prince Philip's death. The statement read: "It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh," the palace said in a statement obtained by Insider. "His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle."
The duke was hospitalized for four weeks earlier this year in what the palace initially described as a precautionary measure. He was admitted to King Edward VII's Hospital in London on February 16 and was discharged a month later.

A New Brunswick artist said the best piece of career advice he ever received came from the late Prince Philip.
It was 2012 and Christian Corbet, a Sackville artist, was tasked with spending several hour-long sessions with the Duke of Edinburgh as he worked to sculpt a bust in the royal consort's image.
Corbet had been approached by the Royal Canadian Regiment to do the bust, and later flew to the United Kingdom, where he spent several sessions at Buckingham Palace working on the portrait of the prince.
"It was like a grandfather's lounge where you saw awards everywhere, you saw personal photos of his mom, his sister." said Corbet, describing the room where he did the live sessions with the prince, during an interview with Radio-Canada.
"Prince Philip comes in, he shakes my hand, he says to me, 'Oh', he says, 'I read your CV'. And he said, 'You've been busy'. And I said, 'Yes, thank you, sir'."

Over several sessions, Corbet said he built a rapport with the prince, and got an insight into his "incredible wit" and kindness.
At one point, the two were discussing art, and Corbet said the conversation led to the prince offering a piece of advice he's held on to since.
"I'd ask him questions about his art because he's a very accomplished painter and, you know, at one point he said, 'So do you still do painting?'... and I said, 'Oh, no'. I said 'I do mostly sculptures'.
"And he gave the best piece of advice that anybody has done, and really it's helped my career immeasurably.
"He said, 'You know, a sculpture's a hard sell in Canada. You don't want to give that up. Keep it. Keep it up. Keep up the painting'."

The prince showed a liking for the bust Corbet created, which Corbet said helped validate his work as an artist.
"He touched me in a way that was just so wonderful. It makes today very sad, but at the same time, I'm very grateful."
Prince Philip's N.B. visits
Serving as colonel-in-chief for the Royal Canadian Regiment, Prince Philip kept strong ties with Canada, and didn't leave New Brunswick out when visiting the country.
According to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, Elizabeth and Prince Philip first visited New Brunswick in 1951, when she was still a princess, and returned in 1959, 1976, 1984, and in 2002 as part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee tour.
On their first visit, the couple arrived in Fredericton by train on Nov. 6, 1951, where Elizabeth, who was 25 at the time, and Prince Philip were greeted by hundreds of spectators, according to the provincial archives, in an online tribute to the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

"During their two-day stay in New Brunswick, Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip toured historic landmarks, talked to war veterans, listened to choral music, attended a glittering civic dinner, and received warm cheers of welcome from well-wishers, who flooded into the communities they visited," states the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick.
To mark the Queen's 50th anniversary of her accession to the throne in 2002, she and Prince Philip visited New Brunswick as part of a 12-month tour throughout the Commonwealth countries. It was the last time the couple visited the province.

The couple visited Fredericton on Oct. 11, 2002, before making quick stops in Sussex, Moncton and Dieppe.
N.B. officials offer condolences
The offices of New Brunswick Lt-Gov. Brenda Murphy and Premier Blaine Higgs issued statements on the death of Prince Philip on Friday.
"On behalf of all New Brunswickers, I extend to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and all members of the Royal Family, our most profound condolences," said Murphy, in a news release.
Higgs also extended condolences to the Royal Family on behalf of New Brunswickers.
"We fondly remember his many visits to our province over the years, both on his own and with Her Majesty The Queen, and the special efforts he made to meet with New Brunswickers from all walks of life who strive to make valuable contributions to their communities," Higgs said, in a news release.
Higgs said a rose bush planted on the grounds of Government House by the Queen during her and Prince Philip's last visit in 2002 will serve as a reminder of the prince's "unwavering dignity, loyalty and service to all Canadians."
"The conversation in the video, Cxxxc said, is a prime example of the "enduring notion of white ownership of this nation," despite North America first belonging to..."
I suppose this Malarkey family had nothing to do with it.

Husband of Queen Elizabeth was longest-serving royal consort in British history

Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, husband to Queen Elizabeth and Britain's longest-serving royal consort has died 2:51
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth, died today at 99. He was the longest-serving royal consort in British history, and deeply devoted to his duty in that role.
His death, announced by Buckingham Palace, came more than 3½ years after Philip formally stepped back from public life, a retreat that had been happening gradually for several years.
In an interview in June 2011 with the BBC, the no-nonsense Philip spoke about "winding down" and reducing his workload as a member of the Royal Family.
"I reckon I've done my bit so I want to enjoy myself a bit now, with less responsibility, less frantic rushing about, less preparation, less trying to think of something to say," he said.
His final official public engagement came on Aug, 2, 2017, when he attended a parade of Royal Marines at Buckingham Palace and met servicemen who had taken part in a charity race.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement Friday calling Philip "a man of great service to others" who maintained a special relationship with the Canadian Armed Forces and was a patron to more than 40 Canadian organizations.
"Prince Philip was a man of great purpose and conviction, who was motivated by a sense of duty to others," he said. "He will be fondly remembered as a constant in the life of our Queen – a lifelong companion who was always at her side offering unfailing support as she carried out her duties."

More than 20,000 solo appearances
Through the Queen's 69 years on the throne, the man whom she had called her "strength and stay" carried out more than 22,000 solo engagements and made nearly 5,500 speeches. He attended events periodically with the Queen and other members of the Royal Family after stepping back from official duties.

Often viewed as a gruff curmudgeon prone to gaffes that grabbed the headlines, the 99-year-old royal was also a guiding force for the House of Windsor and sought to introduce more modern practices into an institution steeped in tradition.
"What Prince Philip did was help modernize the monarchy in the 1950s," Michael Jackson, president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada, said in an interview Friday morning.
"It was still a very tradition-bound institution…. We can credit Prince Philip, with the Queen's full support, of course, of modernizing [its] finances, protocols, how Buckingham Palace was run … its outreach to the Commonwealth."
Philip had been in hospital several times in recent years, including for hip replacement surgery in April 2018 and for treatment of a pre-existing condition in December 2019. He was in hospital for about a month earlier this year, returning to Windsor Castle in mid-March.
While he had retired from public duties, Philip found himself back in the public eye and at the centre of controversy in early 2019 after a Land Rover he was driving collided with a car near Sandringham, the royal estate in eastern England.
Philip wasn't hurt, but his vehicle rolled over, and a woman in the car suffered a broken wrist. He eventually apologized to her and said he had been dazzled by the sun while turning onto a main road. He also gave up his driver's licence.
Pictures of him with the Queen were released occasionally over the past year, including at the time of his 99th birthday last June and for their 73rd wedding anniversary in November. During the pandemic lockdown, he and the Queen had been staying at Windsor Castle.

John Fraser, author of The Secret of the Crown: Canada's Affair with Royalty, credits Philip's profoundly unsettled early years with how he looked toward the future of the Royal Family, and the monarchy.
"I do think those early years were the single biggest factor in his life and how he approached life," said Fraser. "I think he never assumed things would last forever because he didn't make any assumptions like that, and I think he certainly assumed the monarchy wouldn't survive if it didn't reach out more to the constituency that it had to serve."
Royal connections
Philip was born a prince of both Greece and Denmark on June 10, 1921, on the dining room table at his parents' home in Mon Repos, on the Greek island of Corfu.
Despite his birthplace, he had no Greek ancestry. His family tree includes members of the royal families of Denmark, Germany, Russia and Britain.
The Greek royal family was forced into exile in 1922 when Philip was 18 months old.
His father was Prince Andrew of Greece, whose own father was the grandson of King Christian IX of Denmark. Philip's mother was Princess Alice of Battenberg, the eldest child of Prince Louis of Battenberg and the sister of Earl Mountbatten of Burma.

Unsettled childhood
For Philip, it was an unstable, unsettled childhood. The family broke down, with his mother ill periodically and in a sanitorium. His father went off to Monte Carlo with his mistress.
As a boy, Philip attended schools in England, Germany and Scotland before joining the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth, England, as a cadet, in 1939.
Through his uncle, Louis Mountbatten, the 18-year-old Philip was introduced to British royal circles. At that point, he met a 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth, his third cousin: both had Queen Victoria as a great-great-grandmother.
When the Second World War broke out, he focused on his naval career and quickly rose through the ranks. At just 21, he was appointed first lieutenant (second in command) of the destroyer HMS Wallace, which took part in the Allied landings at Sicily.
When he returned home in January 1946, Philip, who had kept in touch with Elizabeth, began courting the young princess. Their engagement was announced 18 months later.
Although most of the public embraced the union, some were unhappy with Philip's un-British origins, and many began referring to him as "Phil the Greek." He silenced those critics when he became a British citizen in 1947 and renounced his Greek royal titles. He became Lt. Philip Mountbatten.
He and Elizabeth were married on Nov. 20, 1947, at Westminster Abbey in a wedding that helped boost British spirits still recovering from the war. He was designated a royal highness, created a knight of the Garter and awarded the title Duke of Edinburgh.

Naval commander
Assuming his new royal role, Philip continued to be appointed and promoted to different positions in the navy. By 1952, he had reached the rank of commander.
His naval career came to an end that year when, on a trip to Kenya, Princess Elizabeth received news that her father, King George VI, had died and that she had become Queen.
As husband of the sovereign, Philip was not crowned at the coronation ceremony in 1953.

Although his active role with the navy was finished, he continued his involvement in the armed forces. He was appointed admiral of the Sea Cadet Corps, colonel-in-chief of the Army Cadet Force and air commodore-in-chief of the Air Training Corps. In 1953, he also had the duties of admiral of the fleet, field marshal and marshal of the Royal Air Force.
In February 1957, he was awarded the titular dignity of Prince of the United Kingdom and became known as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
While carving out an independent role from the Queen, he also established a reputation for blunt, controversial and sometimes offensive or racist statements.
In 1966, he sparked outrage when he said, "British women can't cook." During a visit to China in 1986, he described Beijing as "ghastly" and told British students: "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed."
He told a Briton he met in Hungary in 1993: "You can't have been here that long, you haven't got a pot-belly."
In Australia in 2002, the prince asked an Aborigine if "you still throw spears at each other."
He also dismissed stress counselling for servicemen in a TV documentary on the 50th anniversary of D-Day, saying, "It was part of the fortunes of war. We didn't have counsellors rushing around every time somebody let off a gun, asking, 'Are you all right? Are you sure you don't have a ghastly problem?' You just got on with it."

Prince William told the BBC in November 2004 that he admired his grandfather's occasional bluntness.

Under scrutiny after Diana's death
Philip came under intense scrutiny after Diana, Princess of Wales, the ex-wife of Philip and Elizabeth's eldest son, Prince Charles, died following a Paris car crash with her companion, Dodi Fayed, in 1997.
Philip and the rest of the Royal Family went into seclusion after the accident, but Philip later made a strong statement at Diana's funeral, walking with his family behind her casket as it was carried on a carriage through the streets of London.
After the funeral, Fayed's father, the powerful Egyptian businessman Mohammed Al-Fayed, blamed Philip for the crash. He accused Philip of ordering British secret service agents to kill Diana and Fayed because Philip didn't want Diana to marry a Muslim.
An inquest into the accident cleared Philip of any wrongdoing, blaming the crash instead on the negligent driving of Diana and Fayed's chauffeur and the paparazzi who were chasing them.

Although Philip reportedly had a heart condition, he maintained a busy pace and in recent years enjoyed relatively good health, punctuated by some trips to hospital. In June 2010, he underwent surgery on his left hand for carpal tunnel syndrome. He was treated in 2008 for a chest infection.
Philip spent four nights in hospital over Christmas in 2011 recovering from a successful coronary stent procedure. Nearly six months later, he missed half the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations after he was taken to hospital with a bladder infection. He later spent five days in a Scottish hospital for the same problem.
On June 2, 2013, he was admitted to a London hospital for exploratory abdominal surgery. Returning to his duties two months later, he declared it was a "great pleasure to be back in circulation."
Philip served as president or patron of nearly 800 organizations, and he attended an average of 370 official engagements annually.

For recreation, he enjoyed sailing, cricket and carriage-driving. When he was younger he also played polo, but said age forced him to take up carriage-driving, which he jokingly called a "geriatric sport."
Despite his busy schedule, he accompanied the Queen on her Commonwealth tours and state visits overseas, as well as on tours and visits to all parts of the United Kingdom. He visited Canada more than 70 times, coming with the Queen on several occasions, and other times on his own. The Queen and Prince Philip's last trip to Canada together was in the summer of 2010.

In April 2013, Philip made an unexpected solo visit to Toronto, where he presented a new ceremonial flag to the Royal Canadian Regiment's 3rd Battalion. He had served as the regiment's colonel-in-chief since 1953. During that brief visit, he was also awarded the highest level of the Order of Canada by Gov. Gen. David Johnston.
He was steadfast in his support of the Queen, spending his public life two paces behind her, but always ready to help when needed. Those who knew the royal couple well say the Queen often deferred to Philip in private.
During celebrations for her Golden Jubilee on the throne in 2002, the Queen offered a tribute to the royal consort.
"He has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years," she told the crowds.

Chantal Richard, president-elect of Nurse Practitioners of New Brunswick, said the move to charge for any medically required tests ordered for patients is another blow to those without a primary care provider. (Submitted by Chantal Ricard)
A new rule introduced by the Blaine Higgs government is raising concern among nurse practitioners, who believe it will introduce yet another barrier for the more than 44,000 New Brunswickers who do not have a primary care provider.
Under the policy, which came into effect April 1, any medical practitioner who is operating outside of the public system and charging patients directly, will be billed by the regional health authority for any diagnostic or laboratory tests ordered.
Chantal Ricard, president-elect of Nurse Practitioners of New Brunswick, said the decision is "impeding access to care."
"We believe that these tests should be insured because they're medically necessary and ordered for patients with valid Medicare cards and ordered by licensed health professionals."
Nurse practitioners can diagnose illnesses and injuries, order and interpret tests, and prescribe medications. They are also able to refer patients to a specialist or transfer care to a physician if required.
No explanation for policy
CBC News requested an interview with Health Minister Dorothy Shephard but she was not available to explain the rationale for the decision.
"We've met with them on a few occasions," nurse practitioner and association president Raelyn Lagace said when asked if she knew why health officials made the change, "But we haven't come to any conclusion as to what they're trying to accomplish."

In a letter obtained by CBC News dated June 19, 2020, and addressed to the Vitalité and Horizon Health board chairs, then-health minister Ted Flemming writes that the change is meant to establish "consistent policies and bylaws related to the granting and use of privileges for ordering tests and diagnostic services."
He said government has been made aware "in recent months" of instances where nurse practitioners and doctors are "utilizing publicly funded resources such as laboratory tests and diagnostic services, while charging patients fees."
Lagace said about 150 nurse practitioners are working in New Brunswick. Many are salaried employees with the health authorities, and others work independently, charging patients directly for their visits.
'I'm not quite sure what's going on'
Nurse practitioners who billed patients for a consultation in the past could then order medically necessary tests, which would be covered by Medicare. Lagace said nurse practitioners wouldn't charge anything for tests, only for the consultation.
"If you are a citizen in New Brunswick and require medically necessary tests, you already are paying taxes and should have access to these publicly funded systems that your tax dollars pay for."
Health policy expert Gregory Marchildon agreed. The Ontario research chair in health policy and system design said the move by government strikes him as "a bit of a shift."
In New Brunswick, an increasing number of patients have been forced to seek care outside the public system because they can't get access to a family doctor, or to specialists with long wait lists.
"The fact that these residents are charged for their medically necessary, primary care services only because they can't get access to a physician or nurse practitioner with a Medicare billing number seems contrary to the whole purpose of Medicare," Marchildon said.
Gregory Marchildon, Ontario research chair in health policy and system design, said all residents with a health card are entitled to 'every medically necessary hospital, diagnostic and physician service.' (Submitted by Gregory Marchildon)
"I'm not quite sure what's going on here in New Brunswick, but the rule is that every Canadian should have access … to every medically necessary hospital, diagnostic and physician service. And it seems to me that there is no loophole for that."
Marchildon said if a test isn't medically required — for instance, if someone just wants an MRI "to see if there's possibly anything wrong"— the hospital shouldn't charge for that test. Rather, "they should be just simply refusing to do it."
"The way in which this is being dealt with doesn't sound helpful or constructive," he said. "And it could be very much contrary to the Canada Health Act."
The Department of Health said it does not track how many physicians are working outside the public system in New Brunswick.
Policy impedes access
A March 2021 memo to Horizon Health physicians and nurse practitioners, from two Horizon vice-presidents outlines a range of examples of when physicians or nurse practitioners would "receive a bill directly from Horizon Finance Department."
The list includes services that would be considered medically necessary such as "a patient who requires investigation for anemia," and those that wouldn't, such as "a patient who requires a chest X-ray for a scuba diving licence."
While the new policy charges the medical practitioner who orders the tests, Ricard and Lagace said the costs would ultimately be passed on to the patient.
Lagace said nurse practitioners charge between $29 and $49 for a consultation with a patient, and it's not feasible for them to then pay between $128 and $600 for diagnostic tests.
Raelyn Lagace, president of Nurse Practitioners of New Brunswick, said her members want more flexible options to provide care and ultimately would like to have Medicare billing numbers, similar to doctors. (Submitted by Raelyn Lagace)
"We don't want to pass that bill on to the patient," said Ricard. "We've been working with government for the last two years trying to make changes that would improve access for patients and remove barriers for care, but government chose to take this direction.
"In essence it ties our hands. It shuts us down."
Government goes ahead, despite 'gaps' in care
At the end of the day, Lagace said, the Higgs government is hurting those without access to primary health care the most.
That's something Flemming recognized in his letter from June 2020.
"Please note, Government is also aware of gaps in access to primary health care that would occur should [nurse practitioners] no longer be able to see their existing patients as part of a private practice," Flemming wrote. "This is evidenced in our commitment to fund the establishment of [nurse practitioner] staffed clinics in the province."

While that is good news, she still questioned the direction the government is heading and pointed out the new policy doesn't fit with other goals.
"We want to increase the population of New Brunswick." she said. "But if we can't provide health care, then that's not an option. People are not going to stay if they cannot get access to care.
"People in New Brunswick in the Fredericton region have been on these wait lists for five, seven, 10 years and are not able to get access to care."
Call to revise policy
Ricard and Lagace are calling on the government to change the new policy, arguing New Brunswick citizens are entitled to these tests through the Hospital Services Act.
"There's a need and there's room for all of us and I think that all available health care providers should be on deck," Ricard said.
"We don't understand why government would choose to take away this only option for many patients before having something better to offer them."
Marchildon said New Brunswick should immediately contract with whatever health providers it can, including independent nurse practitioners, to offer care to everyone, "rather than penalizing New Brunswick residents for something they have no control over."
Information Morning - Moncton0:00Health practitioners working outside the public system to be charged for lab tests
Reporter Vanessa Blanch has been looking into how the new rules impact access to healthcare in the province. 0:00

The crux of the problem is that we have 44,000 NB residents who don't have a family doctor. Which do you think would be cheaper for the province? Hiring 20-30 new doctors or paying for the medical tests of those of the 44,000 who to choose to pay a private practitioner?
In my view, if Higgs is unwilling to fix the core problem of not enough family doctors, then he should be thankful for the private practitioners who are trying to fill that void and he should pay for any legitimate tests
Terry Tibbs
Reply to @Fred Brewer: Meanwhile, over a year and a half ago, "the problem" was identified, by the then Minister of Health, good old Teddy Flemming.
But, I'm guessing, good old Higgs and company, can't grind a few bucks out of that, so we'll just sweep it under the rug, and forget about it.
Fred Brewer
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: It seems to me that Higgs is willing to cut education, healthcare, infrastructure and almost anything else rather than demand that the Empire pays its fair share of taxes.
The provincial government has announced it is eliminating the physician billing number system.
"The physician billing number system no longer works for the province," Health Minister Ted Flemming said in a media release Saturday.
"It is flawed because it restricts the number of physicians practising, restricts the mobility of physicians and impedes recruitment."
Flemming made the announcement during the New Brunswick Medical Society's annual general meeting in Moncton.
During the throne speech in November, Premier Blaine Higgs said one of his major commitments while in government was to eliminate the physician billing number system.
The billing number system was introduced in 1992 and controls where and how many physicians can practise in the province.
Doctors are assigned a billing number as a way to maintain an even distribution of doctors throughout the province, specifically in rural areas.
"After 30 years, we've come to understand that it's a failed experiment," said Dr. Serge Melanson, the president of the New Brunswick Medical Society, in an interview.
"By removing it, we're essentially streamlining the process such so we can recruit physicians to the province faster and actually give more flexibility and options to physicians who are looking to set up practice in the province."
Melanson said he hopes this change will provide New Brunswickers with more access to doctors.

"We're hoping this will increase recruitment which will, in turn, improve access to health care to our patients," he said.
The system is expected to be phased out by mid-December.
The New Brunswick Medical Society is working with the regional health authorities and the Department of Health to develop an alternative to the billing number system that works on rural recruitment and access to primary care.
"We're empowering the regional health authorities, Vitalité and Horizon, which already have mandates and abilities to hire physicians," Melanson said. "We're actually providing them with more tools to do so in an effective manner."
New Brunswick's health minister says the elimination of physician billing numbers will help address a ballooning shortage of primary-care doctors in the province's fast-growing urban areas.
The challenge of finding family doctors for smaller communities and rural areas will be relatively easy to solve by paying them more money to practise there, Ted Flemming said Monday.
"The shortage, the wait list, in rural New Brunswick is very, very low compared to urban New Brunswick. The rural issue is just not serious in the sense of numbers."
Of the 32,000 New Brunswickers on waiting lists for doctors, 27,500 are in urban centres.
Fewer than 1,000 people are on waiting lists for family doctors in some northern zones, while the lists in the largest cities have passed the five-figure mark, Flemming said.

Flemming announced on the weekend that the government will abandon the billing-number system, a mechanism created in 1992 to rein in soaring health-care costs.
He made the announcement at a meeting of the New Brunswick Medical Society, which endorsed the move. The Progressive Conservative government promised the change in its throne speech last fall.
Each doctor practising in the province gets a billing number they use to invoice Medicare for the services they provide. But the individual billing number is linked to where the doctor practises, restricting their movements.
If no billing number is available in a community, a new doctor can't set up a practise there.
Bigger the place, longer the wait
Anthony Knight, the CEO of the New Brunswick Medical Society, said billing numbers in urban centres have not grown at the same pace as their populations, or their family-doctor wait lists.
"That number should align with patient needs and patient expectations in terms of their health status, the size of their communities, and the demographic changes we see in our province with the shift of people in certain communities moving to more urban centres," he said.
By eliminating the billing numbers, it will be easier to get more doctors into cities where the longest wait lists exist, Flemming said.
As an illustration, the minister pointed out that in the Bathurst-Acadian Peninsula zone of the Vitalité health authority, 932 people are on the waiting list for a family doctor — fewer than the normal patient load of one physician. In the Campbellton zone, 412 are on the waiting list.
But in the Moncton area, the wait list is 10,272 people, and in Fredericton it's 11,874, Flemming said.
"Finding coverage for 412 people is an easier task than 10,300," he said.
"The demand for primary health care is in the cities. It's not in rural areas. That doesn't mean we don't need to find that [northern] position. That's not insurmountable. That's one nurse practitioner."
Concern over effect on rural communities
Some leaders in northern New Brunswick are already expressing concern about the loss of the billing numbers.
"Those numbers in my mind guaranteed positions in the regions," said Denis Savoie, the mayor of Eel River Crossing and the chair of the Regional Service Commission in the Restigouche area.
"In the current system, it was one of the tools we had to make sure doctors came to the area."
Flemming said the regional health authorities and the medical society will work toward a new system, including financial incentives, to fill the gaps in northern and rural communities.
"If you want someone to locate in certain areas, you have to give particular incentives," he said.
Knight said that without billing numbers restricting mobility, doctors based in urban centres could rotate into rural communities for short periods, perhaps for extra pay.
"We know that certain incentives do work," he said. "They help to encourage physicians to work in communities, maybe not permanently but for periods of time. They could shift in and out with a team of doctors."

That would be better than leaving a billing number vacant because a new doctor is unwilling to permanently establish themselves in that rural or northern community, he said.
New doctors are looking for work-life balance and many of them prefer an urban setting, yet billing numbers are often not available in cities, Knight said. And persuading them to practise elsewhere can be "a hard sell."
Another flaw with billing numbers is they distort the calculation of how many patients are being seen.
One doctor may have 2,000 patients while another easing toward retirement may be seeing far fewer. "I'm not saying the work is not valuable," Flemming said. "What I'm saying is a billing number does not represent the same delivery of medical service."
Into 'the deep end'
The province is aiming to have a new system in place by Dec. 15.
Knight said the new regime "may not be fully ready but there should be, I'll call it, a landing pad for anyone that's interested in establishing a practice on that date."
Flemming said he leapt into "the deep end" without a clear replacement because it's been clear for years the billing-number system was flawed and he didn't want to delay changes any longer.
"You can study and you can do this and this and this," he said. "This is something that had to be done. I had no appetite for another study and another review. It's the right decision."

A Fredericton law firm has filed a class-action application against the University of New Brunswick after multiple students said a psychiatrist at the student health centre sexually assaulted them.
Since the suspension in November, the college has received a total of 18 sexual assault complaints against Bhargava from individual patients, most of them students, according to college registrar Dr. Ed Schollenberg.
Bhargava and UNB were both named in the class-action lawsuit application filed Monday by the plaintiff Morgan Jean Wilcox.
Erika Hachey, injury and insurance law partner at Moss Hachey Law, said the application is filed against Bhargava for sexual assault of various students who attended UNB, and against UNB "for the systemic failures to protect their students from Dr. Bhargava and his behaviour."
She called the victims a "particularly vulnerable group of students."

She said her firm decided to spearhead the class-action suit after Wilcox contacted them and asked to be the representative of the suit.
"She was a very recent victim of Dr. Bhargava at the Student Health Centre and speaking with her, she was very adamant she wanted to start a class action on behalf of all of the students that were affected by this," Hachey said.
The statement of claim alleges Bhargava prescribed medication he said would affect the patient's heart rate and blood pressure. Then he would frequently ask her to remove articles of underwear and clothing so he could take her blood pressure and heart rate and used "non-consensual sexual contact" to do so.
Hachey said the alleged sexual abuse was reported to UNB various times, but the details of when and how have not been outlined in the statement of claim.
Schollenberg said the complaints the college received contain almost identical allegations, where patients describe Bhargava asking them to remove under garments and then touching their breasts while checking their heartbeats or taking their blood pressure.
"More or less, slight variations, but generally all are pretty much the same thing," he said.
The allegations have not been proven in court, and a date is yet to be set to hear the case. UNB has not yet filed a statement of defence.
Hachey said that once a statement of defence is filed, the court can have a certification hearing. Only if the case has been certified can it proceed as a class-action suit.
Referring complaints to police
Schollenberg said the college involved the police recently, after suspending Bhargava.
"It became apparent that there may be more to this," he said.
He said the college asked some of the 18 complainants if they were interested in speaking to the police and passed on their information to the Fredericton Police Force if they said yes.
Alycia Bartlette, spokesperson for the Fredericton Police Force, would not confirm whether the police are investigating Bhargava.
"In general, we would not confirm whether a specific individual was the subject of a police investigation until such time as charges are laid in court, or there are operational reasons otherwise," she said in an email.
One complainant on the record
Hachey said Wilcox is the only person whose allegations are detailed in the statement of claim, but the class action has been filed on behalf of everyone who's experienced sexual assault by Bhargava. She said the firm is still trying to contact people affected.
"We have currently our representative plaintiff, but that's all you need to start a class action," she said.
Hachey said the plaintiff is "looking for action be taken on behalf of the students who had this happen to them and … for UNB to recognize the failures of the Dr. Bhargava and of themselves that led to the sexual assault of all these students."
Hachey said the timeline has not been outlined yet.
CBC did not get a response from UNB or Bhargava by publication time.
Fredericton psychiatrist Dr. Manoj Bhargava has been suspended by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. (Facebook)
A Fredericton psychiatrist was suspended by the College of Physicians and Surgeons on Tuesday after the college received several complaints about him that alleged misconduct toward patients.
Dr. Manoj Bhargava works at Fredericton Addiction and Mental Health, which is part of Horizon Health, and part time at the Student Health Centre at the University of New Brunswick.
Alison Larade began seeing Bhargava as a first-year student at St. Thomas University.
"It definitely was very traumatizing," she said Tuesday.
Allegations that Bhargava has mistreated patients at the Student Health Centre were shared on Instagram and Facebook late last week.

After seeing an anonymous post on the Instagram account @accountabilityatunb Larade decided to share her own story.
"It was very emotional and I came to the conclusion that I wanted to speak out," she said.
Larade said that among other things, the psychiatrist performed physical exams and ask her to remove her bra while he used a stethoscope, saying it could interfere with the results. He said he then groped her breasts. Looking back, she felt she had been "groomed" to accept the behaviour.
Dr. Ed Schollenberg, registrar with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, said that since Thursday the college has received five complaints about Bhargava.
"It looks like this is a more widespread problem than you would see if you had just one complaint. ... Some of these are people who are no longer at UNB, they've moved on and they've heard about this and they're sending their concerns in.
"It's a little troubling in terms of potential magnitude."
Schollenberg said the complaints all describe alleged "improper touching."
"It also seems he was examining everybody in the same way, or at least all the patients we heard from were being examined in the same way."
The College of Physicians and Surgeons continues to investigate the allegations.

More allegations are popping up at @accountabilityatunb.
"There are so many of us who went to him in our most vulnerable state seeking help, almost as our last option, to see a psychiatrist, and to get some form of mental health treatment," Larade said. "And to see that he's taken advantage of so many vulnerable people, and it wasn't just me, is completely heartbreaking."
Larade said she's been speaking and connecting with other women who say they had similar experiences with Bhargava.
She said she has made formal complaints to St. Thomas University, where she is still a student, and the University of New Brunswick.
The universities share the health centre, which UNB operates.
"UNB is not doing enough," said Larade. "I've reached out to the president multiple times … asking the president to speak with him and he's refused."
Larade called for more support from the school's administration.
St. Thomas said it has called on UNB to do a formal investigation into the matter on Monday.
Jeffrey Carleton, associate vice-president, said he still hasn't heard back.
"We just want to make sure there's an adequate response in relation to allegations and if it's alleged misconduct that there be a formal investigation done alongside with what the College of Physicians and Surgeons are doing," Carleton said.
In an emailed statement Tuesday afternoon UNB said it is not able to provide details at this time but it is actively working to address concerns. CBC News was told no one from the school was available for an interview.
Larade said she has also made a formal complaint with the police.

Anyone can scroll down to review the fact that I talked to the political lawyer Steven Offer years ago and the lawyer John Rider must have recalled my many spit and chews with his pals in First Canadian Title. I must say the FNF Canada characters where very stupid not to return my calls today and even dumber yet to piss me off by having another Yankee lawyer call me and try to play dumb just like they have done for 15 very long years

Obviously I made certain that all the mindless Fidelity lawyers you sold the Title Insurance on the very fraudulent real estate sale orderd by a very corrupt probate court knew all about it very long time ago In fact it was in early 2006 when I discovered the lawyers conned my wife into settling with the crooks with my forged signature CORRECT Jeffrey A Campbell and Barry Bachrach?

Bob Bauer a former blogger for Huffington Post returned to Perkins $ Coie after a period of service to President Barack Obama as his White House Counsel from December of 2009 until June of 2011.
He is now General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee, to Obama for America, and General Counsel to the Democratic National Committee. He has also served as co-counsel to the New Hampshire State Senate in the trial of Chief Justice David A. Brock (2000); general counsel to the Bill Bradley for President Committee (1999-2000); and counsel to the Democratic Leader in the trial of President William Jefferson Clinton (1999).
He has co-authored numerous bipartisan reports, including "Report of Counsel to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in the Matter of the United States Senate Seat From Louisiana" in the 105th Congress of the United States (March 27, 1997); "Campaign Finance Reform," A Report to the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the United States Senate (March 6, 1990); and "The Presidential Election Process in the Philippines" (1986), a bipartisan report prepared at the request of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Too bad so sad the lawyer Obama didn't ignore his legal counsel and check my work for himself long ago. It is clear to me that Bob Bauer never studied Maritimers and their lawsuits as closely as I studied his work over the years.
If Obama does not finally simply say my name and expose what he knows about Romney and I way back before he was even a Governor then he deserves to lose this election.
However even though I would NOT wish to see another GOP president you and your Bankster buddies won't mind that a bit but I doubt the NDP and the Liberals will agree EH Mr Prime Minister?
Somebody wise should scroll to the bottom of this email and understand that it was Fidelity that knowingly sold the Title Insurance on the fraduulent sale of my family's home in 2005 then Citizens Bank illegally recorded the discharge of a mortage long after the deal was done. They and the FSA know I have the records from the Registry of Deeds. Clearly the Royal Bank Of Scotland and British FSA has ADMITTED knowing all this for way past too long.

Hey Gypsy just in case you think I am joking about Mikey Allen and the Alliance Realty dudes in Moncton and the Cendant Corp dudes in New Jersey who read my work in your blog quite often, I figured I would expand on things a little bit for the benefit of my fellow common man who pays taxes and and the mortgage on his home in good faith that the bankers and government are ethical and won't screw him out of house and home the first chance they get if you have the power to embarass them. It happened to me and it can happen to anyone.
To stay on topic in this blog here is a little bit of what your MP Mikey Allen knew about mean old me as soon as he got elected in 2006. Hell I even discussed this crap with him on the phone after the election and he asked what he could do. I demanded that he uphold his oath as a parliamentarian and uphold the laws that the smiling bastards make then I went to Woodsock and stuck some documents and CD under his door to prove to him I am a man of my word and that his boss Stevey Boy Harper was a crook. A bunch of kids in the computer access place right next door to Allen's office watched me do it after I explained some shit to them and they had told me that the new Neo Con government had cut the funding and they were about to be shut down. Hell I even said it in Youtube the day after I did it.
Rest assured that the New Brunswick Real Estate Association learned last year what their overseer the Minister of Justice of New Brunswick knew I knew about their business over four years ago. The crooks in Cendant Corp and the Title company dudes have laughed at me way past too long for the benefit of Stevey Boy Harper and his puppet master. Brian Mulroney.
Here are just a few of quite litterly thousands of document lawyers do not want to argue with me about. I am writng this as I wait for John Hershberger of Fidelity National Title Insurance in Jacksonville, FL, 32207 to never call me back as usual. (904 854 8976)
The above documents about Putnam Investments, Coldwell Bankers, Cendant Corp, Brian Mulroney and the US Senate Committee on Banking caused the following hearings from years ago to disappear from the Congrgessional record just as soon as I made a few calls at about this time last year.
These are the title dudes top lawyers. These publicly held corporations sold the Title Insurance on two very fraudulent real estate transactions which involves the forging of my wife's signature and the creation of a fraudulent document bearing mine etc etc. The first order of business of any lawyer working for a publicly held company is to protect its shareholders' investment. The lawyers MUST act with integrity not only according to their licence to practice law for a fee but according to the Code of Ethical Conduct of the publicly held company.
The lawyers were very foolish indeed to make false allegations against me while I was running for aseat in the 39th Parliament and then invite me to sue their company just because they thought the corrupt public officials would protect their fancy arses. Now that the actions of many bankers, accountants and lawyers etc involving countless questionable real estate business have come under scrutiny methinks somebody should settle with me ASAP and tell the truth thewhole the and nothing but the truth for the benefit of many people around the world who have lost bags of money already because of loss of confidence in their business.

Perhaps the lawyer within Mr Motamed should read the document hereto attached and finally call me back HIMSELF in order to have CNA settle with me ASAP for the benefit of its shareholders. The wrongs of your client are irrefuttable.
I am tired of CNA's minor minions being rude and inviting me to sue the company or being very nice but playing as dumb as posts. After your company acknowledged receiving the last three emails I sent directly to you I see no reason why I shouldn't sue you and youor associates personally as well. Do you Mr Motamed??? I doubt that you would be as patient as I after the ridulous letter I got fron one of CNA's lawyers in 2005.
After seven long years of waiting for the PUBLICLY held company to finally act ethically I called YOUR lawyers' offices and several others. In return NOBODY within CNA would talk to me or return my calls once AGAIN. Everybody was in a "meeting" as usual. However many found the time to surf the Internet in order to try to figure out why I am so pissed off and preparing to sue CNA and a host of other companies. Trevor Schauenberg should know that the same holds true for GE.
Scroll down to see a little proof of the obvious malice from CNA today. First I will prove to you that you dudes brag to much for your own good and that I am not as dumb as you lawyers claim I am. EH Mr Obama: coumsel??? ( Say Hoka Hey to Mitt, Madoff, Greg Craig and his buddy Mr Eisen for me will ya?)
Maritimers know how litigate, play on the stock market and practice hard ball politicking too. After all this is the 200 year anniversary of the War of 1812 in that one pissed off Canadians burnt the White House and half of Washington Correct Mr Harper?

The phrase “perfect storm,” taken from the title of Sebastian Junger’s breathtaking saga of the Gloucester fishing fleet’s encounter with destiny in the North Atlantic, has been used to describe everything from meteorological catastrophes to financial collapses.
Albeit well worn, the term describes with pinpoint accuracy the situation in which large, multiple line insurers currently find themselves. Like the 50-foot waves that buffeted the swordboat “Andrea Gail” in The Perfect Storm, powerful forces are challenging carriers on all sides: the prolonged soft market in property/casualty lines; possible reserve inadequacies for life companies; the stock market volatility, the credit crunch, and the ongoing crisis in the housing market.
Given the number, nature, and magnitude of these challenges, few would question the decision of industry veteran Thomas F. Motamed to retire last June from The Chubb Corporation after a distinguished 31-year career with the insurer. Motamed joined Chubb in 1977 as a claims trainee and in 2002 was elected vice chairman and chief operating officer.
Quite a few people, however, might wonder what motivated Motamed to defer his well-earned R&R and instead return to the executive suite, this time at a leading multi-line carrier based in Chicago.
On January 5, 2009, Motamed began his tenure as chairman and chief executive officer of CNA Financial, the holding company of CNA insurance companies. He succeeded Stephen W. Lilienthal, who retired in Deccember 2008 after holding those positions since 2002.
In an exclusive interview with Rough Notes, Motamed explained his reasons for accepting the top post at CNA and, from the perspective of his first 30 days on the job, shared his insights into the myriad challenges that face his organization and its competitors in today’s storm-tossed market.
“First and foremost, I thought there was a tremendous opportunity to build a great company,” Motamed said. “CNA has been around since 1897, so it has a long history, and I thought it had good people. This is a people business, and if you have good people who are on the right page, you can win.”
Ranking priorities
Given the “perfect storm” in which insurers are struggling to remain afloat, how do leaders like Motamed approach the challenge of establishing their priorities?
“Everyone—individuals, businesses in general, and certainly insurance companies—is facing a decline in the value of their assets,” Motamed observed. “To me, probably the most serious issue insurance companies are dealing with, particularly life companies, is the asset side of the balance sheet. Clearly, everyone is hoping for an economic recovery and a financial market recovery, but we need to be constantly looking at ways to improve the financial side of the business.”
In recent months, some life insurers have been petitioning their home state insurance departments to reduce reserve requirements to help preserve their financial stability ratings in the current crisis. We asked Motamed to comment on this trend.
“Every insurance company I know has taken a hit on the asset side,” he replied. “When that happens, you’re subjected to scrutiny by the rating agencies. I believe that all of us who run companies, who believe that we have good products, services and people, don’t want to operate under the cloud of a lower rating. People look to the financial strength of insurers to protect their assets when it comes to a claim,” he pointed out.
“It’s important to remember that we’re not the only ones in control of our destiny. We’re watched by the rating agencies and by state regulators, and by the federal government when it gives TARP money to insurers.” In this environment, Motamed remarked, “I think everyone is trying to avoid a downturn in their rating.”
Eye on the cycle
These days you’d have to go a long way to find any Pollyannas in the insurance business, and Motamed is no relentless optimist. Neither, however, is he a pessimist; his long experience in the industry informs his stance as a confirmed realist.
“I think it’s a great business with great people, and it’s cyclical,” he said. “People have to understand that we’re in a cycle now where it’s not as lucrative for insurers, and customers are getting lower prices. And that will change.”
For that reason, Motamed sees no reason to view today’s soft property/casualty market as anything more than an inevitable turn in the traditional underwriting cycle.
“A lot of people are complaining about the soft market, but the current soft cycle is a lot shorter than historic soft market cycles,” he commented. “It’s not as bad as people think, and the calendar year results are pretty good for most insurance companies. The current accident years are coming under some pressure, but a lot of companies reported pretty good earnings and combined ratios, aside from what happened on the investment side of the house.
“Core property and casualty results continue to be pretty good,” Motamed continued. “Growth is not good, but in economic times like these, where sales and payrolls are down and people are not reinvesting in their businesses, it’s hard to charge people more money for insurance when they’re already suffering economically.”
In times like these, Motamed said, “Whether you’re an insurance company or an agent, the most important thing you can do is stay close to the customer. We have to stay close to our agents and brokers, and we have to execute our fundamentals in a superb way. We also have to be clear about our abilities in the marketplace, and we have to exercise what I call ‘continuing underwriting discipline,’” Motamed asserted.
It’s equally important to recognize, he continued, that “this is a face-to-face business. Underwriters need to be in front of their agents, and agents need to be in front of their customers. Technology is never going to change the face-to-face nature of the business, and I don’t think it should.”
Pointing to another imperative, Motamed said, “We have to make sure we’re providing excellent service to the ultimate customer, because that’s who pays the bills.”
Playing to strengths
How does Motamed characterize the key strengths of CNA in today’s economic climate?
“I’ve learned a lot about the company since I got here, and I’ve been very pleased,” Motamed replied. “First, we have good ratings, and people look to that. We have solid service capabilities in claims, risk control, and back-office operations. We’re known in the marketplace for underwriting strength in our HealthPro business, construction, and our programs.” (The CNA HealthPro division was profiled in an article titled “Leading the Way in Health Care Liability” in the October 2008 issue of Rough Notes.)
A key strength for CNA is its relationships with the agents and brokers who distribute its products, Motamed emphasized. “We’re very much an independent agent company, and agents will be hearing more about CNA expanding its relationships with groups like the Big ‘I’ and the CIAB. We believe we have to work with our agency force to provide first-class solutions to clients,” he said.
“Agents need to be more selective as to whom they represent,” Motamed remarked, “and stick with those relationships and build stronger relationships with a core group of companies, rather than dealing with a fractured list of markets. It’s not economical, and it creates problems on the E&O side if you don’t really know what your markets are selling.”
What’s more, Motamed commented, “Agents have to be more vocal to their underwriters as to what products and services they want and what their customers are willing to pay for. On the other hand, we as underwriters know that price is part of every sales equation, but agents need to demonstrate their value to the client as well as the value of the market they are representing.
“At the end of the day,” Motamed asserted, “relationships are everything. In soft markets and hard markets, agents want long-term relationships with their clients, and we want the same with our agents. It’s cost effective; ultimately it’s more profitable not only for the agent and the underwriter but also for the client when there’s a long-term relationship.”
Future of consolidation
The last several years have seen the consolidation of some industry giants that few if any industry observers ever would have imagined joining forces. Centuries-old names have disappeared amid a wave of mergers and acquisitions as insurers seek to control their ever-rising costs of doing business. We asked Motamed to comment on this trend and whether he expects it to continue.
“It’s kind of a ‘tale of two cities,’” he responded. “On the one hand, I expect more consolidation because there are companies with weaker balance sheets that are unable to raise capital in this economic climate. Underwriting results have deteriorated in the soft market, so logically that suggests that some companies would view a sale to be in the best interests of their shareholders.
“On the other hand, there are fewer buyers, because they have weaker balance sheets as well,” Motamed observed, “and they also have the problem of raising capital today. What’s more, today there are many fewer companies to buy than there were 30 years ago. So when you look at consolidation, logically it should happen—but will it? Only time will tell.”
Like his peers in the executive suites of other top insurers, Motamed was leery of playing the role of crystal ball gazer. Asked what he thinks the property/casualty business might look like three to five years from now, he did offer some thoughts.
“I can’t predict the future with any degree of accuracy, but I expect there will be a turning point on pricing in the next year or two,” Motamed said. “However, that will be muted by the effects of the economy. Underwriters will be able to get a better price for the product, but whether it’s payroll, sales, or total insured values, they are still going to be depressed until the economy comes back.
“We’re looking at a scenario where the bottom line may improve, but growth will be difficult in a soft economy. Profitability could improve as rates increase, but the fact is that clients still won’t be paying a lot more for their insurance,” Motamed said.
Challenges notwithstanding, Motamed declared: “I continue to be excited about the opportunities at CNA. It’s great to be back in the saddle, and CNA has a lot of advantages. We have talented people who really want to work with our agents, and our local presence in the marketplace with CNA offices is very important so our field people can have face-to-face discussions with their agents,” Motamed said. “We want to be a company that thinks in a big way but acts very locally.”

Need I say that this video by little Billy O'Donnell still pisses me off to this very day?
Obviously I made certain that all the mindless Fidelity lawyers you sold the Title Insurance on the very fraudulent real estate sale orderd by a very corrupt probate court knew all about it very long time ago In fact it was in early 2006 when I discovered the lawyers conned my wife into settling with the crooks with my forged signature CORRECT Jeffrey A Campbell and Barry Bachrach?

Bob Bauer a former blogger for Huffington Post returned to Perkins $ Coie after a period of service to President Barack Obama as his White House Counsel from December of 2009 until June of 2011.
He is now General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee, to Obama for America, and General Counsel to the Democratic National Committee. He has also served as co-counsel to the New Hampshire State Senate in the trial of Chief Justice David A. Brock (2000); general counsel to the Bill Bradley for President Committee (1999-2000); and counsel to the Democratic Leader in the trial of President William Jefferson Clinton (1999).
He has co-authored numerous bipartisan reports, including "Report of Counsel to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in the Matter of the United States Senate Seat From Louisiana" in the 105th Congress of the United States (March 27, 1997); "Campaign Finance Reform," A Report to the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the United States Senate (March 6, 1990); and "The Presidential Election Process in the Philippines" (1986), a bipartisan report prepared at the request of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Too bad so sad the lawyer Obama didn't ignore his legal counsel and check my work for himself long ago. It is clear to me that Bob Bauer never studied Maritimers and their lawsuits as closely as I studied his work over the years.
If Obama does not finally simply say my name and expose what he knows about Romney and I way back before he was even a Governor then he deserves to lose this election.
However even though I would NOT wish to see another GOP president you and your Bankster buddies won't mind that a bit but I doubt the NDP and the Liberals will agree EH Mr Prime Minister?
Somebody wise should scroll to the bottom of this email and understand that it was Fidelity that knowingly sold the Title Insurance on the fraduulent sale of my family's home in 2005 then Citizens Bank illegally recorded the discharge of a mortage long after the deal was done. They and the FSA know I have the records from the Registry of Deeds. Clearly the Royal Bank Of Scotland and British FSA has ADMITTED knowing all this for way past too long.

Good afternoon David Amos,
The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (the "Commission") is in receipt of your three emails of October 29, thank you.
Your emails were thoroughly reviewed, but no information on a new public complaint against a member of the RCMP could be located. The only RCMP interaction about which you may have wanted to lodge a complaint which was identified, appears to have occurred in 2004, when RCMP members removed you from the New Brunswick legislature. Due to the time which has passed, and your several opportunities to bring this up with Commission staff in the past (and with staff from the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP, which the current Commission replaces), a public complaint will not be accepted regarding this incident.
Should you have a complaint you would like to make regarding the conduct of an on-duty RCMP member, for an incident occurring within the last year, the Commission invites you to submit a complaint using our online complaint form at https://www.crcc-ccetp.gc.ca/en/make-complaint-form. Alternatively, you may contact our Intake Office at our toll-free number listed below.
Your October 29th emails will be kept on file for information purposes only.

Sunday, 19 November 2017 Federal Court of Appeal Finally Makes The BIG Decision And Publishes It Now The Crooks Cannot Take Back Ticket To Try Put My Matter Before The Supreme Court
BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) Heard at Fredericton, New Brunswick, on May 24, 2017. Judgment delivered at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 30, 2017. REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY:
THE COURT
Date: 20171030
Docket: A-48-16 Citation: 2017 FCA 213 CORAM:
WEBB J.A. NEAR J.A. GLEASON J.A.
BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
I. Introduction
[1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos) filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan (Claim at para. 96).
[2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the Prothontary’s Order).
[3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr. Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
[4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016. As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s cross-appeal.
II. Preliminary Matter
[5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with several judges but did not name those judges.
[6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. F-7:
5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal. […]
5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale. […] 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour fédérale.
[7] However, these subsections only provide that the judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this section. [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that: 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale.
[9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that appeal book.
[10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a conflict in any matter related to him.
[11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
[12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that such judge had a conflict.
[13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr. Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he was a member of such firm.
[14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb, focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
[15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias: 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the reasonable apprehension of bias: … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
[17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. (4th) 193).
[18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with his former firm for a considerable period of time.
32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving events from over a decade ago. (emphasis added)
[19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice Webb hearing this appeal.
[20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
[21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
[22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
[23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him to recuse himself.
[24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
[25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
III. Issue
[26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
IV. Analysis
A. Standard of Review
[27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
[28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to interfere.
B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the Prothonotary’s Order?
[29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court. (…)
21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance. A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he suspects he is barred from the House of Commons. [footnotes omitted].
[30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at para. 27).
[31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada, 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
[13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly. Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28 (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
[32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in public office because the actors, who barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
[33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321 D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
…When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”. “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse of process…
To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.” (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
[34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
[35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons, these allegations are not particularized and are directed against non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such, the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action.
[36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend. The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
V. Conclusion [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment, dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety without leave to amend.

Welcome To The New Home Of The Baconfat Papers
Welcome to The Baconfat Legacy - started in tribute to Mr. Barry Winters: a controversial blogger, opinionated troll and Edmonton resident, who sadly passed away. Before his passing, his blog was the subject of hate crime charges due to the offensive politically incorrect nature of Barry's writing. I will continue this blog in that tradition. You are going to read words like "faggot,""nigger," "kike,""spick,""nip,""bitch,""cunt,""whore,""slut,""wop," "midget," and anything else that just happens to pop into my head, because like Barry I'm an equal opportunity offender. And if you don't like the aggressive, in your face, deliberately offensive nature of this blog well you can suck my fucking dick. Go tell David Amos and Glen Canning to go fuck themselves too. Alert your local authorities and go bitch to your friends in the government, because the Baconfat is back baby.
And in the interest of free speech I hope you fuckers try to shut me down, because I will fight you. If you don't like this blog, then don't read it. Go read the fucking Babysitter's Club for all I care. But any bullshit trumped up charges you throw at me will make my day. Because the day we start locking people up for talking shit in a fucking blog, is the day that fascism rules. C'yall in court, motherfuckers.

72. The Plaintiff states that in early 2006 Saga Books of Calgary, Alberta published a book about Byron Prior and the MP whom the Plaintiff ran against in 2004 and hopefully again in 2014 had researched Byron Prior’s matters. His report to the Minister of Justice in late 2006 has not been made public. More importantly the lawyer who has been the MP representing Fundy Royal for the past eleven years and that the former Minister of Public Safety acknowledged an email from the Plaintiff about Byron Prior that contained the entire text of his website before the writ was dropped for the election of the 38th Parliament. The aforesaid email exchange has been published in the Internet for eleven years. Everything on the Internet published by Byron Prior beginning in 2002 has been removed. The last comments of Byron Prior that the Plaintiff could find published on the Internet was within a few videos a “Freeman” character named Max published within the YouTube domain. It was an interview of Byron Prior as he was protesting on the grounds of the House of Commons the day after the Prime Minister was found in “Contempt of Parliament” and his most contemptuous minority mandate became a matter of history. His majority mandate is history and the Plaintiff seeks relief.
73. The Plaintiff states that he did see a comment posted in a public Facebook of one of Byron Prior’s many associates in British Colombia claiming that Byron Prior had been arrested in Ottawa in 2012 as had several other of his associates across Canada for various reasons during 2012. The whereabouts of Byron Prior are not known to the Plaintiff but he does know that Charles Leblanc lives one block up the same street as the Federal Court in Fredericton is located. Leblanc is being prosecuted by the Crown and suing the FPF at the same time. It is unlikely he would move far from the city soon. If the Crown wishes to argue this complaint Byron Prior and Charles Leblanc should be summoned to testify about what they know of this matter and of their being illegally barred from parliament properties as well. Failing that the Plaintiff has collected a large amount of documentation including documents, videos and webpages etc. He can provide byway of digital media much evidence for the Crown to review about the concerns of Byron Prior and Charles Leblanc and their association with the Plaintiff and many others.
74. The Plaintiff states that in June of 2009 while Byron Prior was before the court a supporter of his, Robin Reid informed the Plaintiff that she was barred from the legislative properties of Alberta and while visiting a constituency office of a MP she had been arrested by the RCMP and assaulted in a locked cell of a hospital in the St Albert area of Alberta. Her arrest was after her visits to the constituency offices of the Prime Minister and an Edmonton MLA. Ms. Reid forwarded her emails to and from the Prime Minister’s office, the RCMP, a former Premier and the office of the Sergeant-at-Arms and asked the Plaintiff to support her. The Plaintiff introduced himself to all the aforementioned parties in order to assist Robin Reid and they were ignored for years. In 2012 the Plaintiff discovered he could no longer assist Ms. Reid because she agreed with the actions of Neo Nazis who supported Byron Prior and Werner Bock. The RCMP and many other law enforcement authorities in Canada and the USA are well aware of the reasons why the Plaintiff is not associated with such people in any fashion other than to attack them with his written words. Neo Nazis are not worthy of further mention in this complaint against the Crown but their Zionist foe, Barry Winters is.
75. The Plaintiff states that the RCMP is well aware of the libel, sexual harassment, and death threats practiced against his family that have been published on the Internet since 2005 by fans (Trolls) who supported Byron Prior. Four Trolls who live in Alberta are Barry Winters, Dean Roger Ray, Eddy Achtem and Patrick Doran They have many “Anonymous” cohorts throughout Canada, the USA and the United Kingdom. The actions of these Trolls created an important example of cyberbullying. Law enforcement officials have ignored these Trolls because of the Plaintiff’s standing as a whistleblower exposing corruption within the justice system. The Plaintiff is aware that several people complained about their actions over the years. In fact the mother of Dean Roger Ray recently her indignation in Barry Winter’s blog. Complaints about Barry Winters can be seen on the Internet by Glen Canning and Professor Kris Wells, two politically well-connected people who complain of cyberbullying often. Proof the Edmonton Police Force (EPS), RCMP, FBI and police in the UK have been ignoring the Plaintiff’s complaints about these Trolls can also viewed on the Internet. The Plaintiff fought fire with fire but did so in a legal fashion and kept the police fully informed of his actions. The Plaintiff was successful in causing numerous egregious videos and several blogs to be taken down after doing his best to find out who the “Anonymous” people were and reporting them. He saved all the blogs and videos published about his family before the malice was removed from public view. Three Trolls who continue to attack his family and others are Dean Roger Ray, Barry Winters and one government employee. A member of the legal dept. of Edmonton tried to claim that the Plaintiff was Barry Winters then complained to the EPS about the Plaintiff’s questions about her incompetence. Professor Kris Wells, who was associated with the Police Commission of Edmonton and Glen Canning, who lost his daughter to cyberbullying, said nothing. They were content that the Plaintiff managed to convince Google’s lawyers to remove one of Barry Winters’s blogs on October 23, 2014 and say nothing about his blog within WordPress that the Troll uses to continue his libel of them and their friends. Instead Glen Canning slandered the Plaintiff within Twitter after Kris Wells sent the Plaintiff an email stating his lawyer had advised him to ignore Barry Winters and his blogs.
76. The Plaintiff states that since the fall of 2014 he has given up on the notion that any police officer or Glen Canning and Professor Kris Wells would ever act with any semblance of integrity. All their actions appear to be for the purposes of self-promotion and personal gain. Canning and Wells received the same emails that were sent to politicians and law enforcement authorities and only Barry Winters responded to all and disputed the Plaintiff’s words. The EPS in June of 2015 informed the Plaintiff that they intend to prosecute Barry Winters for sending “False Messages” instead of prosecuting for his published malice under Sections 300 and 319 of the Criminal Code. That fact must be true because since June the Plaintiff has not received any emails from Barry Winters and within his blog he has slandered the EPS and often mentions the topic of “False Messages”. In the meantime Canning and Wells ignore the Plaintiff’s common concerns while continuing to profess of their abundant knowledge of bullying to university students and anyone else who will listen to them particularly members of the corporate media. The Plaintiff saves every word of Canning and Wells that they cause to be published on the topic cyberbullying and plans to file them as his exhibits to support a lawsuit to seek relief from the cyberbullying of his Clan. He considers the blogs of Barry Winters and the videos of his associates that remain published on the Internet to be important evidence of cyberbullying that the Crown will be arguing within a provincial court of his choice after the election of the 42nd Parliament. Therefore other than remind the Crown and others that he is recording the work of the Trolls, he has not reported their malice to Google and WordPress anymore because the RCMP should have done so long ago.
77. The Plaintiff states that in June of 2015 when a member of the EPS called him four times with an anonymous telephone number asking him to stop emailing public officials about Barry Winters’s blog and to file a formal complaint. The Plaintiff was offended by the anonymous talk of “False Messages”. He refused and stated that if the questionable public officials found his emails quoting the blog of Barry Winters upsetting then the EPS and the RCMP should uphold the law and do something about it in order to protect their reputations.
78. The Plaintiff states that until the EPS member clearly identified himself with his badge number in the fourth phone call and sent a follow up email to back up his words, the Plaintiff could not know for certain that a Troll or the EPS had been calling him. The Plaintiff has a record of two fraudulent calls to him during the same period of time, one using an RCMP phone number and the other used the phone number of Dana Durnford, a well-known Troll and friend of Byron Prior. The Plaintiff returned the calls. Dana Durnford in a predictable fashion denied knowing him and hung up but the Plaintiff did discuss the malice of Trolls with an ethical member of the RCMP. The RCMP and the FBI know that anyone can access several websites based in the USA and engage their free services to harass people with. The RCMP know that some programs allow cyberbullies to pretend to be anyone by having their telephone numbers (including that of the RCMP or the EPS) appear on their victims’ phone display. The Crown knows commercial programs assist in political deceit. Recently, it sent a former assistant of the MP the Plaintiff ran against Fundy-Royal in 2004 to jail because of robo calls.
79. The Plaintiff states that he has clearly explained his intentions to sue the EPS and the RCMP many times because they have been ignoring his complaints for eight years. It was obvious to him what the EPS was trying to do with him in June was trick. The RCMP has been trying to pull the same trick on the Plaintiff since 2003. The Crown knows that if the EPS managed to secure a complaint with the Plaintiff’s signature then it would delay his lawsuit because the EPS could claim that his complaint under investigation and that the EPS could say nothing about it until the matter had concluded. The Plaintiff informed the EPS that anyone could use an anonymous phone number and claim to be anyone if it wished to talk then it should do so from an identifiable telephone line or put it in writing just like he does. In fact the Plaintiff’s family have been getting anonymous calls for many years and the police claimed they could do nothing because the malicious calls came through the Internet. The RCMP would have acted ethically if the families of public officials were subject to the harassment his Clan has suffered instead of assisting in the illegal barring from the parliamentary properties of Canada.
80. The Plaintiff states that the subject of the Crown and Internet harassment became incredibly worse in 2007 long before the demise of two Canadian teenagers caused new cyber laws to be created and promptly ignored. In 2008 while the Plaintiff’s family and friends were being much harassed within many YouTube Channels by Trolls, the RCMP in NB created a YouTube channel of its own to use as tool to catch a local arsonist. As soon as the Plaintiff made a comment about eleven incidents of arson on his friend’s farm in the same area the Plaintiff and his friend were attacked by many Troll’s within the Crown’s domain within YouTube and the RCMP only laughed at the obvious malice that they were publishing for a year without attempting to moderate the comments. In early 2009 the comments within the RCMP YouTube channel change greatly with the arrest and imprisonment of members of the Tingley family pertaining to charges of “Organized Crime”. The libel continued until Werner Bock printed all the comments within the RCMP YouTube channel and delivered hard copy of it in hand to a local office of the RCMP. Once the Plaintiff had a conversation with a member of the RCMP in Moncton NB who was investigating Bock’s complaint, the RCMP took down their video with all the comments and said nothing further about it. The Plaintiff did manage to save most of the comments digitally before they were deleted by the Trolls and the RCMP. Years later the Crown stayed the “Organized Crime” charges against the Tingleys and a publication ban was placed on their concerns about malicious prosecution. The matter was put before the Supreme Court of Canada Rodney Tingley, et al. v. Her Majesty the Queen SCC Docket no. 34107 and the Plaintiff had no idea of any outcome. However in late 2014 he did speak with some of the Tingleys and they admitted to knowing about him and his common concerns with the RCMP. One Tingley stated that their lawyers have advised them not to speak to him because of the publication ban. The same holds true with his former friend Werner Bock and Hank Temper another German who moved to NB to farm. They had trouble with the RCMP acting against them. A search on the Internet with their names and the Plaintiff’s easily proves his assistance but they will never acknowledge it as they attack the Crown, Bock byway of social media and Tepper byway of lawsuit.
81. The Plaintiff states that matters of harassment that the police refuse to investigate would have entered the realm of ridiculous in 2012 if the reasons behind the suicides of teenagers did not become well known by the corporate media. In the summer of 2012 a new member of the FPS who as a former member of the EPS had inspired a lawsuit for beating a client in Edmonton called the Plaintiff and accused him of something he could not do even if he wanted to while he was arguing many lawyers byway of emails about a matter concerning cyber stalking that was before the SCC. The member of the FPF accused the Plaintiff of calling the boss of Bullying Canada thirty times. At that time his MagicJack account had been hacked and although he could receive incoming calls, the Plaintiff could not call out to anyone. The Plaintiff freely sent the FPF his telephone logs sourced from MagicJack after his account restored without the Crown having to issue a warrant to see his telephone records. He asked the FPF and the RCMP where did the records of his phone calls to and from the FPF and the RCMP go if his account had not been hacked. The police never responded. Years later a Troll sent Dean Roger Ray a message through YouTube providing info about the Plaintiff’s MagicJack account with the correct password. Dean Roger Ray promptly posted two videos in YouTube clearly displaying the blatant violation of privacy likely to protect himself from the crime. The Plaintiff quickly pointed out the videos to the RCMP and they refused to investigate as usual. At about the same point in time the Plaintiff noticed that the CBC had published a record of a access to information requests. On the list of requests he saw his name along with several employees of CBC and the boss of Bullying Canada. The Plaintiff called the CBC to make inquiries about what he saw published on the Internet. CBC told him it was none of his business and advised him if he thought his rights had been offended to file a complaint. It appears the Plaintiff that employees of CBC like other questionable Crown Corporations such as the RCMP rely on their attorneys far too much to defend them from litigation they invite from citizens they purportedly serve. The employees of CBC named within the aforementioned and the CBC Legal Dept. are very familiar with the Plaintiff and of the Crown barring him from legislative properties while he running for public office.
82. The Plaintiff states that any politician or police officer should have seen enough of Barry Winter’s WordPress blog by June 22, 2015 particularly after the very unnecessary demise of two men in Alberta because of the incompetence of the EPS. Barry Winters was blogging about the EPS using battering ram in order to execute a warrant for a 250 dollar bylaw offence at the same time Professor Kris Wells revealed in a televised interview that the EPS member who was killed was the one investigating the cyber harassment of him. It was obvious why the police and politicians ignored all the death threats, sexual harassment, cyberbullying and hate speech of a proud Zionist who claimed to be a former CF officer who now working for the Department of National Defence (DND). It is well known that no politician in Canada is allowed to sit in Parliament as a member of the major parties unless they support Israel. Since 2002 the Plaintiff made it well known that he does not support Israeli actions and was against the American plan to make war on Iraq. On Aril 1, 2003 within two weeks of the beginning of the War on Iraq, the US Secret Service threatened to practice extraordinary rendition because false allegations of a Presidential threat were made against him by an American court. However, the Americans and the Crown cannot deny that what he said in two courts on April 1, 2003 because he published the recordings of what was truly said as soon as he got the court tapes. The RCMP knows those words can still be heard on the Internet today. In 2009, the Plaintiff began to complain of Barry Winters about something far more important to Canada as nation because of Winters’ bragging of being one of 24 CF officers who assisted the Americans in the planning the War on Iraq in 2002. In the Plaintiff’s humble opinion the mandate of the DND is Defence not Attack. He is not so naive to think that such plans of war do not occur but if Barry Winters was in fact one of the CF officers who did so then he broke his oath to the Crown the instant he bragged of it in his blog. If Winters was never an officer in the CF then he broke the law by impersonating an officer. The Plaintiff downloaded the emails of the Privy Council about Wikileaks. The bragging of Barry Winters should have been investigated in 2009 before CBC reported that documents released by WikiLeaks supported his information about Canadian involvement in the War on Iraq.
83. The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over five years after he began his bragging:

Why Canada Stood Tall!
Friday, October 3, 2014 Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute” Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind. The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic, professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent, support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war. That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state” Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control, and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,” or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states “moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of “world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy” David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing “humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau “the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing, marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security, and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

This is to confirm that the Minister of National Defence has received your email and it will be reviewed in due course. Please do not reply to this message: it is an automatic acknowledgement.
I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is interesting though
Anyone can call me back and stress test my integrity after they read this simple pdf file. BTW what you Blue Sky dudes pubished about Potash Corp and BHP is truly funny. Perhaps Stevey Boy Harper or Brad Wall will fill ya in if you are to shy to call mean old me.
"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command, including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff, who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000 U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends" demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American "veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation (and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which ....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John Adams? of the CSE within the DND?
84. The Plaintiff states that the RCMP is well aware that he went to western Canada in 2104 at the invitation of a fellow Maritimer in order to assist in his attempt to investigate the murders of many people in Northern BC. The Plaintiff has good reasons to doubt his fellow Maritimer’s motives. The fact that he did not tell the Plaintiff until he had arrived in BC that he had invited a Neo Nazi he knew the Plaintiff strongly disliked to the same protest that he was staging in front of the court house in Prince George on August 21, 2014. The Plaintiff was looking forward to meeting Lonnie Landrud so he ignored the Neo Nazi. Several months after their one and only meeting, Lonnie Landrud contacted the Plaintiff and asked him to publish a statement of his on the Internet and to forward it to anyone he wished. The Plaintiff obliged Landrud and did an investigation of his own as well. He has informed the RCMP of his opinion of their actions and has done nothing further except monitor the criminal proceedings the Crown has placed against the Neo Nazi in BC and save his videos and webpages and that of his associates. The words the Plaintiff stated in public in Prince George BC on August 21, 2014 were recorded by the Neo Nazi and published on the Internet and the RCMP knows the Plaintiff stands by every word. For the public record the Plaintiff truly believes what Lonnie Landrud told him despite the fact that he does not trust his Neo Nazi associates. Therefore the Plaintiff had no ethical dilemma whatsoever in publishing the statement Lonnie Landrud mailed to him in a sincere effort to assist Lonnie Landrud’s pursuit of justice. The Crown is well aware that Plaintiff’s former lawyer, Barry Bachrach once had a leader of the American Indian Movement for a client and that is why he ran against the former Minister of Indian Affairs for his seat in the 39th Parliament.
85. The Plaintiff states that while he was out west he visited Edmonton AB several times and met many people. He visited the home of Barry Winters and all his favourite haunts in the hope of meeting in person the evil person who had been sexually harassing and threatening to kill him and his children for many years. The Crown cannot deny that Winters invited him many times. On June 13, 2015 Barry Winters admitted the EPS warned him the Plaintiff was looking for him.
86. The Plaintiff states that on December 15th, 2014 the Crown in Alberta contacted him byway of an email account he seldom uses since his last communications with the Sergeant-at-Arms and Robin Reid. The Sergeant-at-Arms wanted to know about a contact he had that day with the constituency office of a recently appointed Cabinet Minister. All the other statements in this complaint should prove that the Plaintiff knew why a political lawyer from NB was ignoring a new constituent’s contacts all summer after answering a message in Twitter promising to meet with him. It was obvious to the Plaintiff that as soon as the lawyer was a Cabinet Minister he was attempting to use his influence to intimidate the Plaintiff byway of the Sergeant-at-Arms like his political associates in NB did in 2004.
87. The Plaintiff states that before he had a chance to respond to the email from the Sergeant-at-Arms of Alberta, three members of the RCMP members in plain clothes were pounding on the basement entrance of a condo at 1:30 AM. They did not identify themselves as being the police as they attempted to harass the Plaintiff on private property in the middle of the night without a warrant. The Plaintiff was twice the age of the oldest one and considered them to be tough talking kids who were trying to enter a home in the middle of the night so as he closed the door he told them he was calling the cops. They hollered on the other side of the door that they were the cops as the Plaintiff called their headquarters and was immediately patched through to them. The Plaintiff refused their request when RCMP tried to con him into coming outside in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night so they could supposedly speak with him instead of saying what they needed to say over the telephone. If what the RCMP was saying was remotely true then they should have identified themselves and asked for him instead of someone else when he answered the door. The Plaintiff’s response to the RCMP’s trickery was that it was best that they communicate in writing and that he would be contacting their lawyers in the morning. The Crown received its very justifiable responses and the law was not upheld. The Plaintiff was ignored as the RCMP continued to harass his family deep into the New Year as he headed for the BC coast then back to the Maritimes to run for public office again.
88. The Plaintiff states that in regards to this complaint the actions and inactions of the Sergeant-at-Arms and the RCMP in Alberta affirmed to the Plaintiff that he is still barred under threat of arrest from all parliamentary properties in Canada because they did not deny it. The RCMP does not have the integrity to talk to or email him about anything because they know he tries to record everything just like they do. Instead of acting ethically the standard operating procedure of the RCMP since 2004 is to intimidate his friends and family in a malicious effort to impeach his character and separate them. That is the reason the Plaintiff stays away from most people most of the time. The actions of the RCMP towards the Plaintiff and many others and his experiences in the USA served to convince him that the Crown acts just like corrupt Americans. In order to cover up wrongs it would prefer to injure and imprison ethical citizens in mental wards rather than uphold the law or argue them publicly in a court of law. In 2002 the Plaintiff explained why he would seek public office in Canada to American lawyers he was suing within statements of a lawsuit about legal malpractice. Now he is doing the same to Canadian lawyers in the employ of the government whose wages are once again being paid by his fellow taxpayer. As the Plaintiff prepares to deal with a predicable motion to dismiss and a motion for a publication ban to delay and conceal this matter before polling day perhaps the lawyers working for the Crown should study the Plaintiff’s work found within documents in the Governor General’s office. Trust that he will look forward to talking to the first lawyer to answer this complaint because it has been years since he could get any lawyer in Canada to discuss anything with him. There is no ethical dilemma to be found in this statement, the Crown counsels should just do their job according to the law of the land, seek the documents in the possession of the lawyer who is the Governor General of Canada and let the political cards fall where they may. In closing the Plaintiff must remind the Crown that two members of the Canadian Forces acting as security for the Highland Games held on the grounds of the Lieutenant Governor’s residence in NB approached the Chief of the Amos Clan claiming that an unnamed party found him “overbearing”. He gave them a copy of the Governors General’s letter and freely left the parliamentary property.
FLTA HISTORY: The Florida Land Title Association has roots that extend back to 1914 when a group of title abstractors joined together to form an association dedicated to improving the practice and procedures of searching land titles. Incorporated in 1971 The Florida Land Title Association, Inc., is a non profit trade association that is still dedicated to serving the land title insuring industry by promoting shared goals of education, professionalism, ethical standards, and to effectively advocate member concerns.
I would like to start this message by acknowledging the steady leadership and excellent work of our association staff, our Board of Directors (BOD), and everyone who is contributing so significantly with our various committees and working groups. A quick review of the other sections of this Newsletter will reveal the current efforts and priorities of our Association being powered by our industry’s most dedicated professionals. Despite the incredible challenges of the current pandemic, I am very grateful and proud that our Association is in a stronger position at this moment, both financially and structurally, than it was before the pandemic hit us around this time last year. And we have big plans and opportunities to continue our success.
A big focus for this coming month will be our first fully virtual Lobby Days. Those of you that have participated in past years already know that Lobby Days has become one of the most important and impactful events of our Association as we generate awareness and engagement between FLTA members and key policymakers around current Association legislative priorities and promote the overall benefits that the title insurance and real estate settlement industry provides. And now this event is open to easier access and more participation by being virtual. Are you interested in participating? Get more specific details and register.
Another big focus that I would like to highlight starts with the charitable action of past BOD member, Aaron Davis, who has travelled to Texas to help with the natural disaster caused by their recent storm. Our Association was inspired by Aaron’s efforts and has contributed $250 to the Harper, TX, Fire Department GoFundMe Account and we encourage any interested members to contribute individually as well. I know that giving back is an integral part of who we are as individuals, and I am very proud that our Association is evolving in a way that will put formal structure and resources around these efforts. What started with our BOD decision to donate $20,000 to be split between five Florida area food banks with increased demands created by Covid-19 and a call to action for our members that was met with so much enthusiasm has now evolved into formal BOD approval to establish an FLTA affiliated Charitable Action Foundation with 501(C)(3) status and a commitment to strengthening the communities where our members live and work.
We envision our foundational philanthropy will not be simply about writing a check. This new organization will put structure around our ongoing relationships, collaborations, shared missions to serve our communities, and the giving of our time and talents to specific need driven challenges as well as the broader long-term goals. Our Foundation will heighten our Association’s identity internally and externally.
The scientific research, and the development and rollout of vaccines gives us hope that the dark and isolating days of this pandemic are numbered. And in its wake, we will have an opportunity to connect in ways both old and new in order to advance the interests of our title insurance and real estate settlement industry in Florida and to serve our communities better than we have before.
I hope this newsletter contains information that is helpful for you and that you are also proud and engaged in our Association. Your ideas, comments and questions are always welcome! I can be reached at lprescott@firstam.com.

BC Housing Sector Urges Federal Parties to Act on Affordability Recommendations
"Too many British Columbians struggle to find an affordable home to rent or own because of a lack of housing options. Nearly six in ten uncommitted Canadian voters cite access to affordable housing as a top election issue, according to an August 2019 Angus Reid survey.
The next federal government has the opportunity to improve affordability by reducing taxes on new rental homes, encouraging housing supply to match transit targets and changing mortgage underwriting rules.
Six organizations representing the BC housing sector have partnered to make housing affordability recommendations that focus on much-needed solutions."thics Guy

Anyone can scroll down to review the fact that I talked to the political lawyer Steven Offer years ago and the lawyer John Rider must have recalled my many spit and chews with his pals in First Canadian Title. I must say the FNF Canada characters where very stupid not to return my calls today and even dumber yet to piss me off by having another Yankee lawyer call me and try to play dumb just like they have done for 15 very long years
What would this lawyer have done if she were to see her husband falsely imprisoned then thrown out of her home that she had paid the mortgage off on many years before byway of bullshit about unpaid rent owed to nobody then have legions of cops lawyers and politicians laugh about her family's plight for 16 years while she raised her children alone???

Need I say that this video by little Billy O'Donnell still pisses me off to this very day?
Obviously I made certain that all the mindless Fidelity lawyers you sold the Title Insurance on the very fraudulent real estate sale ordered by a very corrupt probate court knew all about it very long time ago In fact it was in early 2006 when I discovered the lawyers conned my wife into settling with the crooks with my forged signature CORRECT Jeffrey A Campbell and Barry Bachrach?

Bob Bauer a former blogger for Huffington Post returned to Perkins $ Coie after a period of service to President Barack Obama as his White House Counsel from December of 2009 until June of 2011.
He is now General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee, to Obama for America, and General Counsel to the Democratic National Committee. He has also served as co-counsel to the New Hampshire State Senate in the trial of Chief Justice David A. Brock (2000); general counsel to the Bill Bradley for President Committee (1999-2000); and counsel to the Democratic Leader in the trial of President William Jefferson Clinton (1999).
He has co-authored numerous bipartisan reports, including "Report of Counsel to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in the Matter of the United States Senate Seat From Louisiana" in the 105th Congress of the United States (March 27, 1997); "Campaign Finance Reform," A Report to the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the United States Senate (March 6, 1990); and "The Presidential Election Process in the Philippines" (1986), a bipartisan report prepared at the request of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Too bad so sad the lawyer Obama didn't ignore his legal counsel and check my work for himself long ago. It is clear to me that Bob Bauer never studied Maritimers and their lawsuits as closely as I studied his work over the years.
If Obama does not finally simply say my name and expose what he knows about Romney and I way back before he was even a Governor then he deserves to lose this election.
However even though I would NOT wish to see another GOP president you and your Bankster buddies won't mind that a bit but I doubt the NDP and the Liberals will agree EH Mr Prime Minister?
Somebody wise should scroll to the bottom of this email and understand that it was Fidelity that knowingly sold the Title Insurance on the fraduulent sale of my family's home in 2005 then Citizens Bank illegally recorded the discharge of a mortage long after the deal was done. They and the FSA know I have the records from the Registry of Deeds. Clearly the Royal Bank Of Scotland and British FSA has ADMITTED knowing all this for way past too long.

Hey Gypsy just in case you think I am joking about Mikey Allen and the Alliance Realty dudes in Moncton and the Cendant Corp dudes in New Jersey who read my work in your blog quite often, I figured I would expand on things a little bit for the benefit of my fellow common man who pays taxes and and the mortgage on his home in good faith that the bankers and government are ethical and won't screw him out of house and home the first chance they get if you have the power to embarass them. It happened to me and it can happen to anyone.
To stay on topic in this blog here is a little bit of what your MP Mikey Allen knew about mean old me as soon as he got elected in 2006. Hell I even discussed this crap with him on the phone after the election and he asked what he could do. I demanded that he uphold his oath as a parliamentarian and uphold the laws that the smiling bastards make then I went to Woodsock and stuck some documents and CD under his door to prove to him I am a man of my word and that his boss Stevey Boy Harper was a crook. A bunch of kids in the computer access place right next door to Allen's office watched me do it after I explained some shit to them and they had told me that the new Neo Con government had cut the funding and they were about to be shut down. Hell I even said it in Youtube the day after I did it.
Rest assured that the New Brunswick Real Estate Association learned last year what their overseer the Minister of Justice of New Brunswick knew I knew about their business over four years ago. The crooks in Cendant Corp and the Title company dudes have laughed at me way past too long for the benefit of Stevey Boy Harper and his puppet master. Brian Mulroney.
Here are just a few of quite litterly thousands of document lawyers do not want to argue with me about. I am writng this as I wait for John Hershberger of Fidelity National Title Insurance in Jacksonville, FL, 32207 to never call me back as usual. (904 854 8976)
The above documents about Putnam Investments, Coldwell Bankers, Cendant Corp, Brian Mulroney and the US Senate Committee on Banking caused the following hearings from years ago to disappear from the Congrgessional record just as soon as I made a few calls at about this time last year.
These are the title dudes top lawyers. These publicly held corporations sold the Title Insurance on two very fraudulent real estate transactions which involves the forging of my wife's signature and the creation of a fraudulent document bearing mine etc etc. The first order of business of any lawyer working for a publicly held company is to protect its shareholders' investment. The lawyers MUST act with integrity not only according to their licence to practice law for a fee but according to the Code of Ethical Conduct of the publicly held company.
The lawyers were very foolish indeed to make false allegations against me while I was running for aseat in the 39th Parliament and then invite me to sue their company just because they thought the corrupt public officials would protect their fancy arses. Now that the actions of many bankers, accountants and lawyers etc involving countless questionable real estate business have come under scrutiny methinks somebody should settle with me ASAP and tell the truth thewhole the and nothing but the truth for the benefit of many people around the world who have lost bags of money already because of loss of confidence in their business.

Perhaps the lawyer within Mr Motamed should read the document hereto attached and finally call me back HIMSELF in order to have CNA settle with me ASAP for the benefit of its shareholders. The wrongs of your client are irrefuttable.
I am tired of CNA's minor minions being rude and inviting me to sue the company or being very nice but playing as dumb as posts. After your company acknowledged receiving the last three emails I sent directly to you I see no reason why I shouldn't sue you and youor associates personally as well. Do you Mr Motamed??? I doubt that you would be as patient as I after the ridulous letter I got fron one of CNA's lawyers in 2005.
After seven long years of waiting for the PUBLICLY held company to finally act ethically I called YOUR lawyers' offices and several others. In return NOBODY within CNA would talk to me or return my calls once AGAIN. Everybody was in a "meeting" as usual. However many found the time to surf the Internet in order to try to figure out why I am so pissed off and preparing to sue CNA and a host of other companies. Trevor Schauenberg should know that the same holds true for GE.
Scroll down to see a little proof of the obvious malice from CNA today. First I will prove to you that you dudes brag to much for your own good and that I am not as dumb as you lawyers claim I am. EH Mr Obama: coumsel??? ( Say Hoka Hey to Mitt, Madoff, Greg Craig and his buddy Mr Eisen for me will ya?)
Maritimers know how litigate, play on the stock market and practice hard ball politicking too. After all this is the 200 year anniversary of the War of 1812 in that one pissed off Canadians burnt the White House and half of Washington Correct Mr Harper?

The phrase “perfect storm,” taken from the title of Sebastian Junger’s breathtaking saga of the Gloucester fishing fleet’s encounter with destiny in the North Atlantic, has been used to describe everything from meteorological catastrophes to financial collapses.
Albeit well worn, the term describes with pinpoint accuracy the situation in which large, multiple line insurers currently find themselves. Like the 50-foot waves that buffeted the swordboat “Andrea Gail” in The Perfect Storm, powerful forces are challenging carriers on all sides: the prolonged soft market in property/casualty lines; possible reserve inadequacies for life companies; the stock market volatility, the credit crunch, and the ongoing crisis in the housing market.
Given the number, nature, and magnitude of these challenges, few would question the decision of industry veteran Thomas F. Motamed to retire last June from The Chubb Corporation after a distinguished 31-year career with the insurer. Motamed joined Chubb in 1977 as a claims trainee and in 2002 was elected vice chairman and chief operating officer.
Quite a few people, however, might wonder what motivated Motamed to defer his well-earned R&R and instead return to the executive suite, this time at a leading multi-line carrier based in Chicago.
On January 5, 2009, Motamed began his tenure as chairman and chief executive officer of CNA Financial, the holding company of CNA insurance companies. He succeeded Stephen W. Lilienthal, who retired in Deccember 2008 after holding those positions since 2002.
In an exclusive interview with Rough Notes, Motamed explained his reasons for accepting the top post at CNA and, from the perspective of his first 30 days on the job, shared his insights into the myriad challenges that face his organization and its competitors in today’s storm-tossed market.
“First and foremost, I thought there was a tremendous opportunity to build a great company,” Motamed said. “CNA has been around since 1897, so it has a long history, and I thought it had good people. This is a people business, and if you have good people who are on the right page, you can win.”
Ranking priorities
Given the “perfect storm” in which insurers are struggling to remain afloat, how do leaders like Motamed approach the challenge of establishing their priorities?
“Everyone—individuals, businesses in general, and certainly insurance companies—is facing a decline in the value of their assets,” Motamed observed. “To me, probably the most serious issue insurance companies are dealing with, particularly life companies, is the asset side of the balance sheet. Clearly, everyone is hoping for an economic recovery and a financial market recovery, but we need to be constantly looking at ways to improve the financial side of the business.”
In recent months, some life insurers have been petitioning their home state insurance departments to reduce reserve requirements to help preserve their financial stability ratings in the current crisis. We asked Motamed to comment on this trend.
“Every insurance company I know has taken a hit on the asset side,” he replied. “When that happens, you’re subjected to scrutiny by the rating agencies. I believe that all of us who run companies, who believe that we have good products, services and people, don’t want to operate under the cloud of a lower rating. People look to the financial strength of insurers to protect their assets when it comes to a claim,” he pointed out.
“It’s important to remember that we’re not the only ones in control of our destiny. We’re watched by the rating agencies and by state regulators, and by the federal government when it gives TARP money to insurers.” In this environment, Motamed remarked, “I think everyone is trying to avoid a downturn in their rating.”
Eye on the cycle
These days you’d have to go a long way to find any Pollyannas in the insurance business, and Motamed is no relentless optimist. Neither, however, is he a pessimist; his long experience in the industry informs his stance as a confirmed realist.
“I think it’s a great business with great people, and it’s cyclical,” he said. “People have to understand that we’re in a cycle now where it’s not as lucrative for insurers, and customers are getting lower prices. And that will change.”
For that reason, Motamed sees no reason to view today’s soft property/casualty market as anything more than an inevitable turn in the traditional underwriting cycle.
“A lot of people are complaining about the soft market, but the current soft cycle is a lot shorter than historic soft market cycles,” he commented. “It’s not as bad as people think, and the calendar year results are pretty good for most insurance companies. The current accident years are coming under some pressure, but a lot of companies reported pretty good earnings and combined ratios, aside from what happened on the investment side of the house.
“Core property and casualty results continue to be pretty good,” Motamed continued. “Growth is not good, but in economic times like these, where sales and payrolls are down and people are not reinvesting in their businesses, it’s hard to charge people more money for insurance when they’re already suffering economically.”
In times like these, Motamed said, “Whether you’re an insurance company or an agent, the most important thing you can do is stay close to the customer. We have to stay close to our agents and brokers, and we have to execute our fundamentals in a superb way. We also have to be clear about our abilities in the marketplace, and we have to exercise what I call ‘continuing underwriting discipline,’” Motamed asserted.
It’s equally important to recognize, he continued, that “this is a face-to-face business. Underwriters need to be in front of their agents, and agents need to be in front of their customers. Technology is never going to change the face-to-face nature of the business, and I don’t think it should.”
Pointing to another imperative, Motamed said, “We have to make sure we’re providing excellent service to the ultimate customer, because that’s who pays the bills.”
Playing to strengths
How does Motamed characterize the key strengths of CNA in today’s economic climate?
“I’ve learned a lot about the company since I got here, and I’ve been very pleased,” Motamed replied. “First, we have good ratings, and people look to that. We have solid service capabilities in claims, risk control, and back-office operations. We’re known in the marketplace for underwriting strength in our HealthPro business, construction, and our programs.” (The CNA HealthPro division was profiled in an article titled “Leading the Way in Health Care Liability” in the October 2008 issue of Rough Notes.)
A key strength for CNA is its relationships with the agents and brokers who distribute its products, Motamed emphasized. “We’re very much an independent agent company, and agents will be hearing more about CNA expanding its relationships with groups like the Big ‘I’ and the CIAB. We believe we have to work with our agency force to provide first-class solutions to clients,” he said.
“Agents need to be more selective as to whom they represent,” Motamed remarked, “and stick with those relationships and build stronger relationships with a core group of companies, rather than dealing with a fractured list of markets. It’s not economical, and it creates problems on the E&O side if you don’t really know what your markets are selling.”
What’s more, Motamed commented, “Agents have to be more vocal to their underwriters as to what products and services they want and what their customers are willing to pay for. On the other hand, we as underwriters know that price is part of every sales equation, but agents need to demonstrate their value to the client as well as the value of the market they are representing.
“At the end of the day,” Motamed asserted, “relationships are everything. In soft markets and hard markets, agents want long-term relationships with their clients, and we want the same with our agents. It’s cost effective; ultimately it’s more profitable not only for the agent and the underwriter but also for the client when there’s a long-term relationship.”
Future of consolidation
The last several years have seen the consolidation of some industry giants that few if any industry observers ever would have imagined joining forces. Centuries-old names have disappeared amid a wave of mergers and acquisitions as insurers seek to control their ever-rising costs of doing business. We asked Motamed to comment on this trend and whether he expects it to continue.
“It’s kind of a ‘tale of two cities,’” he responded. “On the one hand, I expect more consolidation because there are companies with weaker balance sheets that are unable to raise capital in this economic climate. Underwriting results have deteriorated in the soft market, so logically that suggests that some companies would view a sale to be in the best interests of their shareholders.
“On the other hand, there are fewer buyers, because they have weaker balance sheets as well,” Motamed observed, “and they also have the problem of raising capital today. What’s more, today there are many fewer companies to buy than there were 30 years ago. So when you look at consolidation, logically it should happen—but will it? Only time will tell.”
Like his peers in the executive suites of other top insurers, Motamed was leery of playing the role of crystal ball gazer. Asked what he thinks the property/casualty business might look like three to five years from now, he did offer some thoughts.
“I can’t predict the future with any degree of accuracy, but I expect there will be a turning point on pricing in the next year or two,” Motamed said. “However, that will be muted by the effects of the economy. Underwriters will be able to get a better price for the product, but whether it’s payroll, sales, or total insured values, they are still going to be depressed until the economy comes back.
“We’re looking at a scenario where the bottom line may improve, but growth will be difficult in a soft economy. Profitability could improve as rates increase, but the fact is that clients still won’t be paying a lot more for their insurance,” Motamed said.
Challenges notwithstanding, Motamed declared: “I continue to be excited about the opportunities at CNA. It’s great to be back in the saddle, and CNA has a lot of advantages. We have talented people who really want to work with our agents, and our local presence in the marketplace with CNA offices is very important so our field people can have face-to-face discussions with their agents,” Motamed said. “We want to be a company that thinks in a big way but acts very locally.”

Need I say that this video by little Billy O'Donnell still pisses me off to this very day?
Obviously I made certain that all the mindless Fidelity lawyers you sold the Title Insurance on the very fraudulent real estate sale orderd by a very corrupt probate court knew all about it very long time ago In fact it was in early 2006 when I discovered the lawyers conned my wife into settling with the crooks with my forged signature CORRECT Jeffrey A Campbell and Barry Bachrach?

Bob Bauer a former blogger for Huffington Post returned to Perkins $ Coie after a period of service to President Barack Obama as his White House Counsel from December of 2009 until June of 2011.
He is now General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee, to Obama for America, and General Counsel to the Democratic National Committee. He has also served as co-counsel to the New Hampshire State Senate in the trial of Chief Justice David A. Brock (2000); general counsel to the Bill Bradley for President Committee (1999-2000); and counsel to the Democratic Leader in the trial of President William Jefferson Clinton (1999).
He has co-authored numerous bipartisan reports, including "Report of Counsel to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in the Matter of the United States Senate Seat From Louisiana" in the 105th Congress of the United States (March 27, 1997); "Campaign Finance Reform," A Report to the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the United States Senate (March 6, 1990); and "The Presidential Election Process in the Philippines" (1986), a bipartisan report prepared at the request of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Too bad so sad the lawyer Obama didn't ignore his legal counsel and check my work for himself long ago. It is clear to me that Bob Bauer never studied Maritimers and their lawsuits as closely as I studied his work over the years.
If Obama does not finally simply say my name and expose what he knows about Romney and I way back before he was even a Governor then he deserves to lose this election.
However even though I would NOT wish to see another GOP president you and your Bankster buddies won't mind that a bit but I doubt the NDP and the Liberals will agree EH Mr Prime Minister?
Somebody wise should scroll to the bottom of this email and understand that it was Fidelity that knowingly sold the Title Insurance on the fraduulent sale of my family's home in 2005 then Citizens Bank illegally recorded the discharge of a mortage long after the deal was done. They and the FSA know I have the records from the Registry of Deeds. Clearly the Royal Bank Of Scotland and British FSA has ADMITTED knowing all this for way past too long.

Good afternoon David Amos,
The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (the "Commission") is in receipt of your three emails of October 29, thank you.
Your emails were thoroughly reviewed, but no information on a new public complaint against a member of the RCMP could be located. The only RCMP interaction about which you may have wanted to lodge a complaint which was identified, appears to have occurred in 2004, when RCMP members removed you from the New Brunswick legislature. Due to the time which has passed, and your several opportunities to bring this up with Commission staff in the past (and with staff from the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP, which the current Commission replaces), a public complaint will not be accepted regarding this incident.
Should you have a complaint you would like to make regarding the conduct of an on-duty RCMP member, for an incident occurring within the last year, the Commission invites you to submit a complaint using our online complaint form at https://www.crcc-ccetp.gc.ca/en/make-complaint-form. Alternatively, you may contact our Intake Office at our toll-free number listed below.
Your October 29th emails will be kept on file for information purposes only.

Sunday, 19 November 2017 Federal Court of Appeal Finally Makes The BIG Decision And Publishes It Now The Crooks Cannot Take Back Ticket To Try Put My Matter Before The Supreme Court
BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) Heard at Fredericton, New Brunswick, on May 24, 2017. Judgment delivered at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 30, 2017. REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY:
THE COURT
Date: 20171030
Docket: A-48-16 Citation: 2017 FCA 213 CORAM:
WEBB J.A. NEAR J.A. GLEASON J.A.
BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
I. Introduction
[1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos) filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan (Claim at para. 96).
[2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the Prothontary’s Order).
[3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr. Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
[4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016. As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s cross-appeal.
II. Preliminary Matter
[5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with several judges but did not name those judges.
[6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. F-7:
5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal. […]
5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale. […] 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour fédérale.
[7] However, these subsections only provide that the judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this section. [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that: 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale.
[9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that appeal book.
[10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a conflict in any matter related to him.
[11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
[12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that such judge had a conflict.
[13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr. Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he was a member of such firm.
[14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb, focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
[15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias: 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the reasonable apprehension of bias: … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
[17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. (4th) 193).
[18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with his former firm for a considerable period of time.
32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving events from over a decade ago. (emphasis added)
[19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice Webb hearing this appeal.
[20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
[21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
[22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
[23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him to recuse himself.
[24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
[25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
III. Issue
[26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
IV. Analysis
A. Standard of Review
[27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
[28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to interfere.
B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the Prothonotary’s Order?
[29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court. (…)
21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance. A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he suspects he is barred from the House of Commons. [footnotes omitted].
[30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at para. 27).
[31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada, 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
[13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly. Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28 (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
[32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in public office because the actors, who barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
[33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321 D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
…When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”. “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse of process…
To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.” (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
[34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
[35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons, these allegations are not particularized and are directed against non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such, the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action.
[36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend. The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
V. Conclusion [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment, dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety without leave to amend.

Welcome To The New Home Of The Baconfat Papers
Welcome to The Baconfat Legacy - started in tribute to Mr. Barry Winters: a controversial blogger, opinionated troll and Edmonton resident, who sadly passed away. Before his passing, his blog was the subject of hate crime charges due to the offensive politically incorrect nature of Barry's writing. I will continue this blog in that tradition. You are going to read words like "faggot,""nigger," "kike,""spick,""nip,""bitch,""cunt,""whore,""slut,""wop," "midget," and anything else that just happens to pop into my head, because like Barry I'm an equal opportunity offender. And if you don't like the aggressive, in your face, deliberately offensive nature of this blog well you can suck my fucking dick. Go tell David Amos and Glen Canning to go fuck themselves too. Alert your local authorities and go bitch to your friends in the government, because the Baconfat is back baby.
And in the interest of free speech I hope you fuckers try to shut me down, because I will fight you. If you don't like this blog, then don't read it. Go read the fucking Babysitter's Club for all I care. But any bullshit trumped up charges you throw at me will make my day. Because the day we start locking people up for talking shit in a fucking blog, is the day that fascism rules. C'yall in court, motherfuckers.

72. The Plaintiff states that in early 2006 Saga Books of Calgary, Alberta published a book about Byron Prior and the MP whom the Plaintiff ran against in 2004 and hopefully again in 2014 had researched Byron Prior’s matters. His report to the Minister of Justice in late 2006 has not been made public. More importantly the lawyer who has been the MP representing Fundy Royal for the past eleven years and that the former Minister of Public Safety acknowledged an email from the Plaintiff about Byron Prior that contained the entire text of his website before the writ was dropped for the election of the 38th Parliament. The aforesaid email exchange has been published in the Internet for eleven years. Everything on the Internet published by Byron Prior beginning in 2002 has been removed. The last comments of Byron Prior that the Plaintiff could find published on the Internet was within a few videos a “Freeman” character named Max published within the YouTube domain. It was an interview of Byron Prior as he was protesting on the grounds of the House of Commons the day after the Prime Minister was found in “Contempt of Parliament” and his most contemptuous minority mandate became a matter of history. His majority mandate is history and the Plaintiff seeks relief.
73. The Plaintiff states that he did see a comment posted in a public Facebook of one of Byron Prior’s many associates in British Colombia claiming that Byron Prior had been arrested in Ottawa in 2012 as had several other of his associates across Canada for various reasons during 2012. The whereabouts of Byron Prior are not known to the Plaintiff but he does know that Charles Leblanc lives one block up the same street as the Federal Court in Fredericton is located. Leblanc is being prosecuted by the Crown and suing the FPF at the same time. It is unlikely he would move far from the city soon. If the Crown wishes to argue this complaint Byron Prior and Charles Leblanc should be summoned to testify about what they know of this matter and of their being illegally barred from parliament properties as well. Failing that the Plaintiff has collected a large amount of documentation including documents, videos and webpages etc. He can provide byway of digital media much evidence for the Crown to review about the concerns of Byron Prior and Charles Leblanc and their association with the Plaintiff and many others.
74. The Plaintiff states that in June of 2009 while Byron Prior was before the court a supporter of his, Robin Reid informed the Plaintiff that she was barred from the legislative properties of Alberta and while visiting a constituency office of a MP she had been arrested by the RCMP and assaulted in a locked cell of a hospital in the St Albert area of Alberta. Her arrest was after her visits to the constituency offices of the Prime Minister and an Edmonton MLA. Ms. Reid forwarded her emails to and from the Prime Minister’s office, the RCMP, a former Premier and the office of the Sergeant-at-Arms and asked the Plaintiff to support her. The Plaintiff introduced himself to all the aforementioned parties in order to assist Robin Reid and they were ignored for years. In 2012 the Plaintiff discovered he could no longer assist Ms. Reid because she agreed with the actions of Neo Nazis who supported Byron Prior and Werner Bock. The RCMP and many other law enforcement authorities in Canada and the USA are well aware of the reasons why the Plaintiff is not associated with such people in any fashion other than to attack them with his written words. Neo Nazis are not worthy of further mention in this complaint against the Crown but their Zionist foe, Barry Winters is.
75. The Plaintiff states that the RCMP is well aware of the libel, sexual harassment, and death threats practiced against his family that have been published on the Internet since 2005 by fans (Trolls) who supported Byron Prior. Four Trolls who live in Alberta are Barry Winters, Dean Roger Ray, Eddy Achtem and Patrick Doran They have many “Anonymous” cohorts throughout Canada, the USA and the United Kingdom. The actions of these Trolls created an important example of cyberbullying. Law enforcement officials have ignored these Trolls because of the Plaintiff’s standing as a whistleblower exposing corruption within the justice system. The Plaintiff is aware that several people complained about their actions over the years. In fact the mother of Dean Roger Ray recently her indignation in Barry Winter’s blog. Complaints about Barry Winters can be seen on the Internet by Glen Canning and Professor Kris Wells, two politically well-connected people who complain of cyberbullying often. Proof the Edmonton Police Force (EPS), RCMP, FBI and police in the UK have been ignoring the Plaintiff’s complaints about these Trolls can also viewed on the Internet. The Plaintiff fought fire with fire but did so in a legal fashion and kept the police fully informed of his actions. The Plaintiff was successful in causing numerous egregious videos and several blogs to be taken down after doing his best to find out who the “Anonymous” people were and reporting them. He saved all the blogs and videos published about his family before the malice was removed from public view. Three Trolls who continue to attack his family and others are Dean Roger Ray, Barry Winters and one government employee. A member of the legal dept. of Edmonton tried to claim that the Plaintiff was Barry Winters then complained to the EPS about the Plaintiff’s questions about her incompetence. Professor Kris Wells, who was associated with the Police Commission of Edmonton and Glen Canning, who lost his daughter to cyberbullying, said nothing. They were content that the Plaintiff managed to convince Google’s lawyers to remove one of Barry Winters’s blogs on October 23, 2014 and say nothing about his blog within WordPress that the Troll uses to continue his libel of them and their friends. Instead Glen Canning slandered the Plaintiff within Twitter after Kris Wells sent the Plaintiff an email stating his lawyer had advised him to ignore Barry Winters and his blogs.
76. The Plaintiff states that since the fall of 2014 he has given up on the notion that any police officer or Glen Canning and Professor Kris Wells would ever act with any semblance of integrity. All their actions appear to be for the purposes of self-promotion and personal gain. Canning and Wells received the same emails that were sent to politicians and law enforcement authorities and only Barry Winters responded to all and disputed the Plaintiff’s words. The EPS in June of 2015 informed the Plaintiff that they intend to prosecute Barry Winters for sending “False Messages” instead of prosecuting for his published malice under Sections 300 and 319 of the Criminal Code. That fact must be true because since June the Plaintiff has not received any emails from Barry Winters and within his blog he has slandered the EPS and often mentions the topic of “False Messages”. In the meantime Canning and Wells ignore the Plaintiff’s common concerns while continuing to profess of their abundant knowledge of bullying to university students and anyone else who will listen to them particularly members of the corporate media. The Plaintiff saves every word of Canning and Wells that they cause to be published on the topic cyberbullying and plans to file them as his exhibits to support a lawsuit to seek relief from the cyberbullying of his Clan. He considers the blogs of Barry Winters and the videos of his associates that remain published on the Internet to be important evidence of cyberbullying that the Crown will be arguing within a provincial court of his choice after the election of the 42nd Parliament. Therefore other than remind the Crown and others that he is recording the work of the Trolls, he has not reported their malice to Google and WordPress anymore because the RCMP should have done so long ago.
77. The Plaintiff states that in June of 2015 when a member of the EPS called him four times with an anonymous telephone number asking him to stop emailing public officials about Barry Winters’s blog and to file a formal complaint. The Plaintiff was offended by the anonymous talk of “False Messages”. He refused and stated that if the questionable public officials found his emails quoting the blog of Barry Winters upsetting then the EPS and the RCMP should uphold the law and do something about it in order to protect their reputations.
78. The Plaintiff states that until the EPS member clearly identified himself with his badge number in the fourth phone call and sent a follow up email to back up his words, the Plaintiff could not know for certain that a Troll or the EPS had been calling him. The Plaintiff has a record of two fraudulent calls to him during the same period of time, one using an RCMP phone number and the other used the phone number of Dana Durnford, a well-known Troll and friend of Byron Prior. The Plaintiff returned the calls. Dana Durnford in a predictable fashion denied knowing him and hung up but the Plaintiff did discuss the malice of Trolls with an ethical member of the RCMP. The RCMP and the FBI know that anyone can access several websites based in the USA and engage their free services to harass people with. The RCMP know that some programs allow cyberbullies to pretend to be anyone by having their telephone numbers (including that of the RCMP or the EPS) appear on their victims’ phone display. The Crown knows commercial programs assist in political deceit. Recently, it sent a former assistant of the MP the Plaintiff ran against Fundy-Royal in 2004 to jail because of robo calls.
79. The Plaintiff states that he has clearly explained his intentions to sue the EPS and the RCMP many times because they have been ignoring his complaints for eight years. It was obvious to him what the EPS was trying to do with him in June was trick. The RCMP has been trying to pull the same trick on the Plaintiff since 2003. The Crown knows that if the EPS managed to secure a complaint with the Plaintiff’s signature then it would delay his lawsuit because the EPS could claim that his complaint under investigation and that the EPS could say nothing about it until the matter had concluded. The Plaintiff informed the EPS that anyone could use an anonymous phone number and claim to be anyone if it wished to talk then it should do so from an identifiable telephone line or put it in writing just like he does. In fact the Plaintiff’s family have been getting anonymous calls for many years and the police claimed they could do nothing because the malicious calls came through the Internet. The RCMP would have acted ethically if the families of public officials were subject to the harassment his Clan has suffered instead of assisting in the illegal barring from the parliamentary properties of Canada.
80. The Plaintiff states that the subject of the Crown and Internet harassment became incredibly worse in 2007 long before the demise of two Canadian teenagers caused new cyber laws to be created and promptly ignored. In 2008 while the Plaintiff’s family and friends were being much harassed within many YouTube Channels by Trolls, the RCMP in NB created a YouTube channel of its own to use as tool to catch a local arsonist. As soon as the Plaintiff made a comment about eleven incidents of arson on his friend’s farm in the same area the Plaintiff and his friend were attacked by many Troll’s within the Crown’s domain within YouTube and the RCMP only laughed at the obvious malice that they were publishing for a year without attempting to moderate the comments. In early 2009 the comments within the RCMP YouTube channel change greatly with the arrest and imprisonment of members of the Tingley family pertaining to charges of “Organized Crime”. The libel continued until Werner Bock printed all the comments within the RCMP YouTube channel and delivered hard copy of it in hand to a local office of the RCMP. Once the Plaintiff had a conversation with a member of the RCMP in Moncton NB who was investigating Bock’s complaint, the RCMP took down their video with all the comments and said nothing further about it. The Plaintiff did manage to save most of the comments digitally before they were deleted by the Trolls and the RCMP. Years later the Crown stayed the “Organized Crime” charges against the Tingleys and a publication ban was placed on their concerns about malicious prosecution. The matter was put before the Supreme Court of Canada Rodney Tingley, et al. v. Her Majesty the Queen SCC Docket no. 34107 and the Plaintiff had no idea of any outcome. However in late 2014 he did speak with some of the Tingleys and they admitted to knowing about him and his common concerns with the RCMP. One Tingley stated that their lawyers have advised them not to speak to him because of the publication ban. The same holds true with his former friend Werner Bock and Hank Temper another German who moved to NB to farm. They had trouble with the RCMP acting against them. A search on the Internet with their names and the Plaintiff’s easily proves his assistance but they will never acknowledge it as they attack the Crown, Bock byway of social media and Tepper byway of lawsuit.
81. The Plaintiff states that matters of harassment that the police refuse to investigate would have entered the realm of ridiculous in 2012 if the reasons behind the suicides of teenagers did not become well known by the corporate media. In the summer of 2012 a new member of the FPS who as a former member of the EPS had inspired a lawsuit for beating a client in Edmonton called the Plaintiff and accused him of something he could not do even if he wanted to while he was arguing many lawyers byway of emails about a matter concerning cyber stalking that was before the SCC. The member of the FPF accused the Plaintiff of calling the boss of Bullying Canada thirty times. At that time his MagicJack account had been hacked and although he could receive incoming calls, the Plaintiff could not call out to anyone. The Plaintiff freely sent the FPF his telephone logs sourced from MagicJack after his account restored without the Crown having to issue a warrant to see his telephone records. He asked the FPF and the RCMP where did the records of his phone calls to and from the FPF and the RCMP go if his account had not been hacked. The police never responded. Years later a Troll sent Dean Roger Ray a message through YouTube providing info about the Plaintiff’s MagicJack account with the correct password. Dean Roger Ray promptly posted two videos in YouTube clearly displaying the blatant violation of privacy likely to protect himself from the crime. The Plaintiff quickly pointed out the videos to the RCMP and they refused to investigate as usual. At about the same point in time the Plaintiff noticed that the CBC had published a record of a access to information requests. On the list of requests he saw his name along with several employees of CBC and the boss of Bullying Canada. The Plaintiff called the CBC to make inquiries about what he saw published on the Internet. CBC told him it was none of his business and advised him if he thought his rights had been offended to file a complaint. It appears the Plaintiff that employees of CBC like other questionable Crown Corporations such as the RCMP rely on their attorneys far too much to defend them from litigation they invite from citizens they purportedly serve. The employees of CBC named within the aforementioned and the CBC Legal Dept. are very familiar with the Plaintiff and of the Crown barring him from legislative properties while he running for public office.
82. The Plaintiff states that any politician or police officer should have seen enough of Barry Winter’s WordPress blog by June 22, 2015 particularly after the very unnecessary demise of two men in Alberta because of the incompetence of the EPS. Barry Winters was blogging about the EPS using battering ram in order to execute a warrant for a 250 dollar bylaw offence at the same time Professor Kris Wells revealed in a televised interview that the EPS member who was killed was the one investigating the cyber harassment of him. It was obvious why the police and politicians ignored all the death threats, sexual harassment, cyberbullying and hate speech of a proud Zionist who claimed to be a former CF officer who now working for the Department of National Defence (DND). It is well known that no politician in Canada is allowed to sit in Parliament as a member of the major parties unless they support Israel. Since 2002 the Plaintiff made it well known that he does not support Israeli actions and was against the American plan to make war on Iraq. On Aril 1, 2003 within two weeks of the beginning of the War on Iraq, the US Secret Service threatened to practice extraordinary rendition because false allegations of a Presidential threat were made against him by an American court. However, the Americans and the Crown cannot deny that what he said in two courts on April 1, 2003 because he published the recordings of what was truly said as soon as he got the court tapes. The RCMP knows those words can still be heard on the Internet today. In 2009, the Plaintiff began to complain of Barry Winters about something far more important to Canada as nation because of Winters’ bragging of being one of 24 CF officers who assisted the Americans in the planning the War on Iraq in 2002. In the Plaintiff’s humble opinion the mandate of the DND is Defence not Attack. He is not so naive to think that such plans of war do not occur but if Barry Winters was in fact one of the CF officers who did so then he broke his oath to the Crown the instant he bragged of it in his blog. If Winters was never an officer in the CF then he broke the law by impersonating an officer. The Plaintiff downloaded the emails of the Privy Council about Wikileaks. The bragging of Barry Winters should have been investigated in 2009 before CBC reported that documents released by WikiLeaks supported his information about Canadian involvement in the War on Iraq.
83. The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over five years after he began his bragging:

Why Canada Stood Tall!
Friday, October 3, 2014 Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute” Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind. The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic, professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent, support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war. That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state” Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control, and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,” or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states “moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of “world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy” David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing “humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau “the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing, marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security, and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now
From: dnd_mdn@forces.gc.ca Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 14:17:17 -0400 Subject: RE: Re Greg Weston, The CBC , Wikileaks, USSOCOM, Canada and the War in Iraq (I just called SOCOM and let them know I was still alive To: david.raymond.amos@gmail.com
This is to confirm that the Minister of National Defence has received your email and it will be reviewed in due course. Please do not reply to this message: it is an automatic acknowledgement.
I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is interesting though
Anyone can call me back and stress test my integrity after they read this simple pdf file. BTW what you Blue Sky dudes pubished about Potash Corp and BHP is truly funny. Perhaps Stevey Boy Harper or Brad Wall will fill ya in if you are to shy to call mean old me.
"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command, including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff, who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000 U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends" demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American "veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation (and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which ....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John Adams? of the CSE within the DND?
84. The Plaintiff states that the RCMP is well aware that he went to western Canada in 2104 at the invitation of a fellow Maritimer in order to assist in his attempt to investigate the murders of many people in Northern BC. The Plaintiff has good reasons to doubt his fellow Maritimer’s motives. The fact that he did not tell the Plaintiff until he had arrived in BC that he had invited a Neo Nazi he knew the Plaintiff strongly disliked to the same protest that he was staging in front of the court house in Prince George on August 21, 2014. The Plaintiff was looking forward to meeting Lonnie Landrud so he ignored the Neo Nazi. Several months after their one and only meeting, Lonnie Landrud contacted the Plaintiff and asked him to publish a statement of his on the Internet and to forward it to anyone he wished. The Plaintiff obliged Landrud and did an investigation of his own as well. He has informed the RCMP of his opinion of their actions and has done nothing further except monitor the criminal proceedings the Crown has placed against the Neo Nazi in BC and save his videos and webpages and that of his associates. The words the Plaintiff stated in public in Prince George BC on August 21, 2014 were recorded by the Neo Nazi and published on the Internet and the RCMP knows the Plaintiff stands by every word. For the public record the Plaintiff truly believes what Lonnie Landrud told him despite the fact that he does not trust his Neo Nazi associates. Therefore the Plaintiff had no ethical dilemma whatsoever in publishing the statement Lonnie Landrud mailed to him in a sincere effort to assist Lonnie Landrud’s pursuit of justice. The Crown is well aware that Plaintiff’s former lawyer, Barry Bachrach once had a leader of the American Indian Movement for a client and that is why he ran against the former Minister of Indian Affairs for his seat in the 39th Parliament.
85. The Plaintiff states that while he was out west he visited Edmonton AB several times and met many people. He visited the home of Barry Winters and all his favourite haunts in the hope of meeting in person the evil person who had been sexually harassing and threatening to kill him and his children for many years. The Crown cannot deny that Winters invited him many times. On June 13, 2015 Barry Winters admitted the EPS warned him the Plaintiff was looking for him.
86. The Plaintiff states that on December 15th, 2014 the Crown in Alberta contacted him byway of an email account he seldom uses since his last communications with the Sergeant-at-Arms and Robin Reid. The Sergeant-at-Arms wanted to know about a contact he had that day with the constituency office of a recently appointed Cabinet Minister. All the other statements in this complaint should prove that the Plaintiff knew why a political lawyer from NB was ignoring a new constituent’s contacts all summer after answering a message in Twitter promising to meet with him. It was obvious to the Plaintiff that as soon as the lawyer was a Cabinet Minister he was attempting to use his influence to intimidate the Plaintiff byway of the Sergeant-at-Arms like his political associates in NB did in 2004.
87. The Plaintiff states that before he had a chance to respond to the email from the Sergeant-at-Arms of Alberta, three members of the RCMP members in plain clothes were pounding on the basement entrance of a condo at 1:30 AM. They did not identify themselves as being the police as they attempted to harass the Plaintiff on private property in the middle of the night without a warrant. The Plaintiff was twice the age of the oldest one and considered them to be tough talking kids who were trying to enter a home in the middle of the night so as he closed the door he told them he was calling the cops. They hollered on the other side of the door that they were the cops as the Plaintiff called their headquarters and was immediately patched through to them. The Plaintiff refused their request when RCMP tried to con him into coming outside in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night so they could supposedly speak with him instead of saying what they needed to say over the telephone. If what the RCMP was saying was remotely true then they should have identified themselves and asked for him instead of someone else when he answered the door. The Plaintiff’s response to the RCMP’s trickery was that it was best that they communicate in writing and that he would be contacting their lawyers in the morning. The Crown received its very justifiable responses and the law was not upheld. The Plaintiff was ignored as the RCMP continued to harass his family deep into the New Year as he headed for the BC coast then back to the Maritimes to run for public office again.
88. The Plaintiff states that in regards to this complaint the actions and inactions of the Sergeant-at-Arms and the RCMP in Alberta affirmed to the Plaintiff that he is still barred under threat of arrest from all parliamentary properties in Canada because they did not deny it. The RCMP does not have the integrity to talk to or email him about anything because they know he tries to record everything just like they do. Instead of acting ethically the standard operating procedure of the RCMP since 2004 is to intimidate his friends and family in a malicious effort to impeach his character and separate them. That is the reason the Plaintiff stays away from most people most of the time. The actions of the RCMP towards the Plaintiff and many others and his experiences in the USA served to convince him that the Crown acts just like corrupt Americans. In order to cover up wrongs it would prefer to injure and imprison ethical citizens in mental wards rather than uphold the law or argue them publicly in a court of law. In 2002 the Plaintiff explained why he would seek public office in Canada to American lawyers he was suing within statements of a lawsuit about legal malpractice. Now he is doing the same to Canadian lawyers in the employ of the government whose wages are once again being paid by his fellow taxpayer. As the Plaintiff prepares to deal with a predicable motion to dismiss and a motion for a publication ban to delay and conceal this matter before polling day perhaps the lawyers working for the Crown should study the Plaintiff’s work found within documents in the Governor General’s office. Trust that he will look forward to talking to the first lawyer to answer this complaint because it has been years since he could get any lawyer in Canada to discuss anything with him. There is no ethical dilemma to be found in this statement, the Crown counsels should just do their job according to the law of the land, seek the documents in the possession of the lawyer who is the Governor General of Canada and let the political cards fall where they may. In closing the Plaintiff must remind the Crown that two members of the Canadian Forces acting as security for the Highland Games held on the grounds of the Lieutenant Governor’s residence in NB approached the Chief of the Amos Clan claiming that an unnamed party found him “overbearing”. He gave them a copy of the Governors General’s letter and freely left the parliamentary property.

FLTA HISTORY: The Florida Land Title Association has roots that extend back to 1914 when a group of title abstractors joined together to form an association dedicated to improving the practice and procedures of searching land titles. Incorporated in 1971 The Florida Land Title Association, Inc., is a non profit trade association that is still dedicated to serving the land title insuring industry by promoting shared goals of education, professionalism, ethical standards, and to effectively advocate member concerns.
I would like to start this message by acknowledging the steady leadership and excellent work of our association staff, our Board of Directors (BOD), and everyone who is contributing so significantly with our various committees and working groups. A quick review of the other sections of this Newsletter will reveal the current efforts and priorities of our Association being powered by our industry’s most dedicated professionals. Despite the incredible challenges of the current pandemic, I am very grateful and proud that our Association is in a stronger position at this moment, both financially and structurally, than it was before the pandemic hit us around this time last year. And we have big plans and opportunities to continue our success.
A big focus for this coming month will be our first fully virtual Lobby Days. Those of you that have participated in past years already know that Lobby Days has become one of the most important and impactful events of our Association as we generate awareness and engagement between FLTA members and key policymakers around current Association legislative priorities and promote the overall benefits that the title insurance and real estate settlement industry provides. And now this event is open to easier access and more participation by being virtual. Are you interested in participating? Get more specific details and register.
Another big focus that I would like to highlight starts with the charitable action of past BOD member, Aaron Davis, who has travelled to Texas to help with the natural disaster caused by their recent storm. Our Association was inspired by Aaron’s efforts and has contributed $250 to the Harper, TX, Fire Department GoFundMe Account and we encourage any interested members to contribute individually as well. I know that giving back is an integral part of who we are as individuals, and I am very proud that our Association is evolving in a way that will put formal structure and resources around these efforts. What started with our BOD decision to donate $20,000 to be split between five Florida area food banks with increased demands created by Covid-19 and a call to action for our members that was met with so much enthusiasm has now evolved into formal BOD approval to establish an FLTA affiliated Charitable Action Foundation with 501(C)(3) status and a commitment to strengthening the communities where our members live and work.
We envision our foundational philanthropy will not be simply about writing a check. This new organization will put structure around our ongoing relationships, collaborations, shared missions to serve our communities, and the giving of our time and talents to specific need driven challenges as well as the broader long-term goals. Our Foundation will heighten our Association’s identity internally and externally.
The scientific research, and the development and rollout of vaccines gives us hope that the dark and isolating days of this pandemic are numbered. And in its wake, we will have an opportunity to connect in ways both old and new in order to advance the interests of our title insurance and real estate settlement industry in Florida and to serve our communities better than we have before.
I hope this newsletter contains information that is helpful for you and that you are also proud and engaged in our Association. Your ideas, comments and questions are always welcome! I can be reached at lprescott@firstam.com.

Deer, a rare sight in the streets of Bathurst, have been clogging the downtown lately and no one seems to know why. (Submitted by Tyler James Ells)

All of this, agreed with. This is going to aggravate the situation for us regular street-level customers. No two ways around it.
We’re frequently compared to European cell phone providers on price. ALL the countries in Europe added together have roughly the same land mass as Canada, BUT their population is over 746 Million! Meaning Europe has about 20 times as many people to help pay for the same number of cell phone towers, so one would expect their prices to be 20 times less! Canada, by delaying the decision on Huawei for 5G, has made the carriers choose more expensive 5G equipment from competitors because they can’t risk choosing cheaper Huawei gear only to be told to pull it out later.
You wanna trust a telecom to be fair…
